This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hahaha! California actually has lot of pretty tall mountains that get regular annual snowfall so I'm assuming that's responsible for quite a few of them. Also, contrary to popular belief it DOES rain there occasionally (most during January and February), but when it does, it's often heavy enough to cause flash flooding, especially in the desert. I'm wiling to bet most of the waterfalls there are probably seasonal.

Yeah, Northern CA’s climate is closer to Oregon’s and SoCal is more like Mexico. Or at least it’s supposed to be. Last year it dumped pretty hard from Dec to March in the Bay Area.
