SNOW IN FRAZIER PARK

This is actually Frazier Park CA Snow at 10 am, January 21, 2010.

The reason I say 'actually' is because the News Media films Lebec, the city you are in when you exit Frazier Mountain Park Road, off the I 5.  Also, when people come up here to play in the snow, if they don't park at the Post Office (which is a no no btw), they drive past Frazier Park to Mt Pinos Recreation Area, which is not Frazier Park.

UPDATE AS OF 10 AM I 5 IS CLOSED!!!

There is tons of snow in Frazier Park.  The I 5 is open but the CHP is slowing traffic due to the icy roads.

Looks like we got a couple feet of snow over the last two days. 

It is currently 8:30 a.m., 34 degrees, and it is snowing. 

I am not sure about right now but the CHP usually will not let vehicles through to Frazier Park from Lebec, unless you have an ID, that shows you live here, and chains on your tires.

Looks like the I 5 will probably close again if it continues to snow.

The weather sites say snow until Friday night and possibly to Saturday Morning.

This is Bo in the Snow! 


IS THERE SNOW IN FRAZIER PARK???

Well, yes there is.  After some blizzardous (I love that word) conditions, the snow finally stopped, for now.

When I woke up this morning it wasn't snowing at all.  That was surprising because they said it would snow all night.

Well, it started to snow this morning and then it turned into near blizzard.  It is now a little after 5 p.m. and the snow has stopped, for now.

They say it is gonna snow until Friday Night. 

STORM WARNING!

There Is Snow In Frazier Park

Yes indeed, there is snow in Frazier Park, CA.  This is a picture of a bus that was slanted in the middle of the road because of the ice.  I was on my way home around 1 p.m., about 2 hours after it started snowing, and as I headed up Mt. Pinos Way (our main road in town) I discovered the bus, slanted taking up all lanes. 

Unfortunately, I had to stop, and guess what?  That's right, I got stuck.  I couldn't head up the hill anymore because of the ice and so I started to slowly reverse my car to the right side of the road, so I could park.  I was in the X-Terra, which cannot get through snow for nothin.  I should have been in Bocephus Savage, our Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Now that vehicle can drive in any kind of snow and pull other cars out, to boot.

As I was in reverse, crazy little miss teenager passes me on the left with a pick-up truck, without four wheel drive.  Her dilemma was worse then mine because she blocked the tow truck, as the driver was putting his chains on so he could tow the bus.

OMG!  He let her have it.  Took a while for her to move her truck out of the way, and the tow truck driver helped her, as he cursed away.  LOL!  This was quite the entertainment.

This is the CHP on scene

Above is the tow truck that straightened the bus, not the one that was going to tow it.

Then you have the bus sliding, yes sliding, down the street.

And below is the bus sliding, yes sliding, further down the street.  The big truck you see on the right is the truck that was going to tow the bus.

The joys of the snow in Frazier Park, aye?  It was fun for me except I had to hike home and get Bocephus and return to the X-Terra to get all my stuff.

Good times!  And more snow on the way!

Frazier Park CA in January

The weather has been a bit weird for January in Frazier Park, CA.  We usually have snow on the ground or it is snowing.  It has been so warm here and I think it has only snowed two or three times this winter.

Needless to say, we don't have snow right now.  Yesterday was warm and sunny with some clouds. 

Yesterday, around 11 am I was walking Simon, one of my dogs, and it was nice and warm.  The clouds were scattered and I could tell we would get some moisture today. 

When I looked up in the clouds I said, to Simon, "Looks like we might get some snow tomorrow."

Guess what, it rained.  I woke up early, and I mean early, this morning to the sound of rain.

POOP!  I want snow! 

I have hardly had to use the heater or the fire place this winter during the day.  Usually, the heater is on 24-7 in the winter and the fireplace is a blazin every night.  Not this year though.

Well, they say we will get a storm this weekend.  Who is they?  Those dagged burned weather peeps.

Let's hope for the best, meaning a shizzz load of snow, eh?

The only good thing about not having snow is the snow bunnies (that is what we call city folk that come up for the snow) aren't leaving their trash every where. 

Don't get me wrong, we love you snow bunnies, just not your trash.  There are trash cans you know.

Well, until next post...

History of Frazier Park California

The earliest record relating to Frazier Park was a report in 1854 that lumber was being produced there from Frazier Mountain trees for use at the new Army post at nearby Fort Tejon.  Frazier Mountain was called Pinery Mountain.

Frazier Park was established in 1925 by Harry Mc Bain, who named it in 1926 after Frazier Mountain.  The post office was established on September 14, 1927, with Charles B. Fife as the first postmaster.

Frazier Park lies within Cuddy Canyon inside the Los Padres National Forest.

Nearby communities include Lake of the Woods, Lebec, Pine Mountain Club, and Santa Clarita which is the nearest large city.

The highest peak in the area is Mt. Pinos at 8,831 feet which is a popular hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, back-country snowboarding, star-gazing, back-packing, and camping location. 

Frazier Park has an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school all within the El Tejon Unified School District.






 

Busniness in Frazier Park CA

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Stanfill and welcome to my blog, Frazier Park CA!!!

This is my first post on this blog. Before I posted, I thought I would go out to my community and see if anyone had websites that they would like me to link to my new blog, for free.

It was a lot of fun walking around talking to people and business owners in my town. You see, my town (Beautiful Town USA is what I like to call it) does not have an unkind person in it.

So, I am walking and talking. I am also interrupting people right in the middle of their work but they don't say a thing. Some just keep on a workin while we a talkin. I LOVE IT!!!

What a wonderful day! The air is always clean here. The sun was out and it was a delicious 60 degrees.

Today, I met a lot of wonderful people who have great businesses.

Many businesses do not have a website. Can you believe that?

The other day I read that 60% of people search the internet for information before they use any other resource like the phone book. No one really uses the phone book anymore, do they?

What was disappointing was, I met two people that told me they don't need a website.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Yeah, I'm sorry that you don't need a website and I am sorry you won't grow your business 30 to 60% either. The worst part was the first person did not have one, NOT ONE, paying customer in her store. The other person only had one, THAT'S RIGHT, ONE!

WHOLEY MOLEY GUACAMOLE AVOCADO SAUCE!

Yeah! Who needs technology anyway? It won't be long before we all do.

Just a little point here people. There are so many people that access the internet from their cellular phone. That's right, they don't have to be residents of Frazier Park CA, at home on their computer. We have tourists, HELLO!?!

We have tourists in the Winter (we call them snow bunnies). And we have tourists in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Why would anyone not want to have a website for those visitors who have their iPhones and Blackberries Googling businesses while they are in Frazier Park CA?

Call me silly but, YOU NEED A WEBSITE PEOPLE!!!

Well, that's enough rambling for me. I love my town, I hope you will visit, and I will write to you soon...
