Ok DU'ers, just an FYI
At least in my town the radio is already going nuts (fire dept). I have no reason to doubt this is the way it is almost every where. You plan to drive tonight, be careful out there.

It is no joke.

One fire, and three accidents just at the moment, plus medical calls.

Are off! It's a service that monitors them so I don't have to.

I hope all I do is...listen to it and we don't have something major.

Oh and will let the big boys cover the first murder/baby of the year.

The scanner and the service.

We go out if we have a major story that absolutely needs covering, that is not above 3000 feet. I ain't driving on icy roads.

There is that "ain't" again. New non-word for Nads.

Should I point out that most real reporters don't listen to scanners as they have actual connections at police/fire/major hospitals? 

Nah, why ruin her 2013 image as Lois Lane badass so soon.


Note, I keep looking at Nads posts for her thread of outrage of losing DOTY award.   Alas, she has lost the will to fight for what is rightfully hers.   I guess we should add coward to her resume.

Car skidded off the road into a canyon.

I could not see more than ten feet due to the water volume, punctuated by lightning strikes.

When I reached out patients, they were dead. I called off the body recovery...until the damn storm passed. It was plain too dangerous. No, the coroner was not too happy, until they got on scene.

As I put it, it's good to be young, dumb and invisible. Never asked my kids to do what I wasn't willing to do.

I got over the young and invisible part...

Happy new year, hopping I get a pretty quiet one, though turning on the scanner in a little while

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022106483

Call me crazy, but isn't it the firemen that do this type of rescue and not the lowly EMTs?

Note also Nads is now calling them patients and not customers.  Hi Nads!!!    If you would just join here we would help you so you can write more believable stories.  We have super secret forums here that the misfits can't see so you will be safe.

You know you want to join us.   :)

However, it does seem to me she's trying to justify her use of police-scanners, something that's been a valid point of criticism about her here, and which she's probably read.

nadin is a yenta, a snoopy prying old busybody who has an irrational compulsive "need" to know things before anybody else does.

Remember how primitives cover base motives with a cloak of necessity or nobility; she's using the excuse that she needs to snoop because she's a "reporter."

Yeah, right.  She's just a snoop, a yenta, nothing more than that.

I've never been to California--to me, New Jersey is a much more interesting place than California could possibly be--and so don't know this.

Are there "icy roads" around San Diego?

I mean, yeah, sure, they have mountains and stuff down over there, but does the elevation and weather ever get such that they have icy roads?

At elevation, in the mountains outside of San Diego. Remember, Nadin gave a PSA to everyone about that the other night (which I quoted in my latest DUFU).

BTW, frank, "mountains" are high, jutty things that stick up out of the ground. They go up quite a bit higher than Nebraska sandhills.

Thank you; I didn't know that.

I mean, I knew there are mountains around San Diego, but since it's so close to the ocean, I figured they didn't peak all that high, nothing like the Rocky Mountains or the Alps or the Alleghenies and Appalachians or the mountains of northern New Jersey, mountains I've been in; I figured they must be pretty short mountains.

They are. But then, Nadin is a pretty short person. So a little snow can be a big deal.

She's kind of Hobbitesque, you know. I think she may even have hairy feet.

Well, I don't know if you would consider East County Magazine "a source better than nadin," since they are stupid enough to "employ" Nadin, but . . .

Frank we had mountains by Phoenix that would collect snow on their peeks too. You'd be surprised at how elevation, even just a little, changes things.

Mount Laguna, where Julian and Sunrise Highway are, sits at just under 6000 feet.  When I spent some time in SD in early 2011, I was able to go to and see a large snowfall that started (no kidding) literally at the 3000 ft marker on I-8 East.  They ended up getting right at 3 feet on the mountain and a little less in Julian.  I have pictures I can post when I am not on a tablet.

When I was stationed in SD during the early 90s, it snowed in the mountains once, but they were in the middle of a severe decade long drought.  It was my understanding that snowfall up there was a regular occurrence at one time.

FWIW...
