The day it snowed in San Diego.
Many people do not believe that being San Diego it would have never snowed but it was true and a very long time ago;; it was about 40 years and it was the last time that it has ever snowed. For some it is impossible but for the ones who where alive they where very sure of what they saw;; a man who was alive at the time;; 7 years of age he was looking outside of his bedroom window and got the reaction of “huh”? He didn’t know what snow looked like he said and now he said that if this snow was in New York, ATL, and Chicago it would for sure have been forgotten in the quickness. The many people that where alive when JFK and Armstrong where;; they can for sure tell you the exact day of the snow day in San Diego;;
For many people it is crazy to believe some sort of story like this but if spoken to people born back in the day and are still alive they are capable of telling you everything that had happened. They will probably show you pictures and things like that. To many do believe that snow wont come for another 40 years maybe that’s how it goes some people believe to say.
I decided to base my writing on this basically because I had heard of this but I never quit did believe it. Something that just didn't seem very real to me, maybe that people where making it up. Now seeing everything that people have said and the pictures shown now makes me believe that it is something surreal.
- The San Diego Union Tribune
- Killers lawyers seek new judge
- The article that I read today was about a very big ISSUE that is going on. The issue is about a killer who says that the judge is biased toward his case. The article says that lawyers for a sheriffs deputy who pleaded guilty to killing his wife are arguing that the judge who heard the case was biased and are demanding that he step aside. The lawyers for Lowell Bruce say a different judge should determine how long Bruce will be imprisoned. Bruce pleaded guilty August 14 in el Cajon superior court after EVIDENCE was shown that he was a possible suspect. He pleaded guilty to a voluntary man slaughter charge with no agreement on a prison term, after two judges in separate hearings refused to accept a plea agreement under which he would be confined for 15 years. Judge Allan J. Preckel finally accepted a plea under which Bruce faces up to 21 years at a sentencing hearing set for November 27.
- I think that this article is pretty interesting. To SUMMARIZE it better I should say that I think any judge that he gets will be biased.
- One interesting thing that I learned is that that judge was biased towards Lowell's status in law enforcement.

Article;; The Day It Snowed In San Diego
Summary;; This morning’s blog is based on the article I read in the newspaper about the day it snowed in San Diego. It talked about the day when it snowed in San Diego on December 13, 1967. This day was already 40 years ago and many people still have a problem believing it but it’s true. [: People were so happy, saying that it was like a Christmas dream made reality. It talked about a man named Bill Brick, who was then a seventh grader, who talked about remembered looking out his bedroom window saying, “huh?” He had had never seen snow before. The snow was seen in San Diego at Lindbergh Field, Carlsbad, Palomar Mountain, Temecula, Fallbrook, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, La Jolla, Vista, North Park, Clairemont, University City, Mission Valley, and El Centro. But San Diego’s coast has not seen significant snowfall since.
Reflection;; I never knew it snowed in San Diego.[: I had heard of it but like others, I was unsure of it being true. Now, after reading this article and seeing a few pictures, I believe it. && I hope it snows in San Diego again.
Interesting Fact;; There was exactly 6 inches of snow in Temecula.
A heart attack victim verifies floating in the air watching paramedics revive him. A surgical patient remembers the impact as he was watching the doctors constructing during a operate. The widely reported out-of-body experiences have long been the territory of theology, philosophy and scary movies. Now scientists have examined their attention closely to the topic. Researchers in Great Britain and Switzerland have derived a new ways to a strategize confusing the sensory signals the brain receives. Which allows people to seem to be standing aside and watching themselves. And there not using drugs, legal or otherwise. Using virtual reality goggles, a camera and a stick, scientists have encouraged out-of-body experiences. The sensation of drifting outside of one’s own body to perceive a different view than what one actually gets to see. When people gaze at an illusory image of themselves through the goggles and are done just the right way with the stick, they feel as if they have left their bodies. The research reveals that the sense of having a body of being in bodily self.
Day in the snow
December 13, 1967 was the last time that it snowed in California. This is the Christmas dream of all California some snow with a little bit of snow. San Diego has not seen any snowfall since then. The snowfall was in Carlsbad California. Lifeguards were surprised that surfers were coming out still to surf the freezing waves. All schools were canceled because it was remarkable that it snowed in California. More people hope that another snow day would happen to show this generation how beautiful snow looks with the perfect type of light. The kids that were in school played with snowmen and had thrown snowballs at each other. The families became more together because the snow help the California's remember that Christmas is a time for family. I think that this story makes me miss the Midwest because it snows' over in the winter and it is true the family gets closer together they sit and have hot coco. Although snow should not be the reason that family gets closer it should be from love of one another. I bet that the kids were very happy to have snow and to experience that as a young kid. No, you have to drive out to big bear or to another mountain to see the white creamy snow that feels light across your face. To recall my first time in the snow I think about my mom telling me and showing me how to make a snow angel. I always thought it was quiet cool how snow was made and how it leaves. All the forms of snow makes snow so much fun. This experience I am sure that it was what everything they thought it was going to be just from remembering my times in the snow.
Today in the union tribune I read the text day it snowed in san Diego. It was December 13, 1967 it was going to be the day no one will ever forget unless you weren't alive. About 40 years ago today it started to snow. It was because when gale force winds blew a Canadian front far across san Diego. Downtown was lightly dusted, but residents were having fun no matter what. In campo, descanso, jacumba, Julian and other backcountry towns along with schools were closed for the day. These joys proved fleeting, but the snow stopped falling before midmorning. There wasn’t a bit of snow by that time. The local kids still tried to play with snowballs that were all soft and squishy ken ayers said that it was like a rocklike weapon after the first one, he said it was too much.
“VETERANS CHATIES: DERELICT IN THEIR DUTY”
►Americans gave millions of dollars in the past year to veterans charities designed to help troops wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, but several of the groups spent relatively little money on the wounded, according to a leading watchdog organization and federal tax filings. Eight veterans charities, including some of the nation’s largest, gave less than one-third of the money raised to the causes they champion, far below the recommended standards, the American institute of Philanthropy says in a report. one group passed along 1 cent for every dollar raised, the report says. Another charity, help hospitalized veterans, which was founded in San Diego, paid its founder and his wife combined $540,000 in salary and benefits last year, a Washington post analysis of tax filing showed.
►I don’t agree because we are paying to him.
►I also don’t agree because the money should go to the war proposes.
In the other hand they deserve some money but not all of it.
►I think the most interesting fact its that they are stealing from us and we aren't doing nothing.
Around our region: their was a search conducted in Coronado. The search had to do with the police ‘suspecting’ that car theft people were around that area. The police got to the Coronado campus around 2:00pm. The police started the search a little bit passed 2:00pm. They shut down the whole campus, put every body in to a classroom, and the parents that were waiting outside had to be brought inside in order for the police to continue their search. Every body left, and the search ended at around 3:15pm.
Reflection: I think that the whole search was pointless, because nobody was arrested, no stolen property was found, and because it just wasted every body’s time. The students at the school could have been studying for another hour and a half, with out having to think about what is going on outside. Also the students could have done much better without their parents their.
Judges ordered CIA not to destroy tapes.
"Federal courts prohibited the Bush administration from discarding evidence of detainee torture and abuse months before the CIA destroyed video tapes that revealed some of its harshest interrogation tactics" was imprinted within the TEXT of the newspaper i read this morning. The CIA destroyed tapes from the November 2005 interrogation of Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, suspects of terrism. CIA apparently interrogated these detainees under their own hands within a secret area other than Guantanamo Bay where it was supposed to be recorded. The CIA has many STRATEGiES of EXAMiNiNG their suspects. The Bush administration specifically stated that no EViDANCE tape should ever be destroyed after the month of June. The CIA apparently has once again messed up their assignments.
I think that the government is very corrupt. CIA is supposed to be the top most efficient type of government officials. Yet they still go against their own rules and break their own laws. I think that there should be new members and many should be punished.
Today I read a story, it was about a 19 year old man that stole an ambulance when he was treated at a Scripps memorial hospital for a cut on his foot. After he stole a the ambulance he lead police on a high speed chase. Police said that he assaulted a police officer and injured him by ramming the ambulance on his patrol car, and he was driving on the wrong side of the road. The assault charge count as a strike under California's three strike rule. Then police laid a spike strip and he ran over it on purpose which caused an officer to jump. Then he crashed into a grove of eucalyptus trees in a gated community were the guard open the gate for them, then he subdued after the police shot him with a taser gun.
♫The article I read about this morning was about the day it snowed in San Diego. Exactly 40 years ago was the day it snowed in San Diego. On day of December 13 of the year 1967 a couple of days before Christmas a dream came true it snowed here. People say that it is a day you can’t forget. It says that there was snow reported in North Park, East San Diego, Clairemont, university City, and Mission Valley. Ever since that day it has not snowed in the county of San Diego. A lot of the people that remember that day 40 years ago say they were surprised because they had never seen snow in San Diego before. Till this day San Diego that were alive back in that day cant forget about that tiny storm but if it would have been New York or Atlantis or some place like that they would of probably forget it that in a second =].
♫Reflection =]
♫ I think this article was really shocking. I always thought that when people say it snowed in San Diego was a lie or something. I wish I could have been there that day it would have been exciting.
♫Fact =]
♫ An important in El Cajon that year they reported that there was 3 inches of snow on the ground.
