A slight exaggeration perhaps--but the passenger boats didn't run yesterday afternoon and evening because the wind was whipping and the water was rough. Temps in the high 40s, winds over 30mph. People who expected to get on the boat and head back to LA got stranded. Last night we went out to dinner at Steve's Steakhouse, and a group of about 30 stranded folks were there having dinner. Turns out they were in Avalon doing a photo shoot for Airwalk shoes. They really didn't seem to mind having to spend one more day on the island. I guess it's all part of the job.
The barge hasn't been able to make it here either, and when that happens, it doesn't take long before you start seeing empty shelves at the Vons grocery store. Bread disappears first, then fresh produce and dairy products.
One red flag this morning, but the clouds are gone and the sun is out. The snow on the mountains across the channel looks beautiful.

I've even heard of people being stranded by huge snowstorms! Laurie
If it snows here we're moving further south!
