[pct-l] Like a duck . . .



Glorioski ! 
   The second lead editorial in today ' s Sunday N Y Times dealt with the weather in California - Los Angeles . Pointing out what the Times '  weather page had said Friday in that Los Angeles as many of you are likely to know . . . is an inch or so shy of that city ' s all time record for moisture - WET , dating to 1883  - 84 .
   Total accumulations to date already put the city ahead of Chicago , St Louis , Dallas and CLEVELAND ' S ANNUAL precipitation totals and the Los Angeles ' s total is approaching that of PITTSBURG ' S . 
   Wha '  ?  
   Surely . . . like - a - duck ( in more ways then one . )
   Too , Mammoth , received another twelve inches of snow earlier this week { Total now 588 versus 617 ( record ) } and it is snowing as we speak - now - like blazes ; check out the web cams . 
   Gusts of wind in excess of eighty miles per hour on the ridges . Yoikes .
   Hikers : 2004 was a sinecure .
