Kelli, I understand now that CA has some drastic climate differences depending on the region where you live. It appears that your area has some of the mildest weather. I'm almost finished reading "Wild" and recently viewed the movie on my birthday. The PCT sounds awesome!

Greenbrain, yes, California is a big state (3rd biggest I think) and has a lot of climate zones. Mine is pretty mild in the winter (rarely freezes) but can be brutally hot in the summer. Never did any of the PCT, just day hikes.


This morning is windy and chilly (to me). They are calling for a high of 60F today.

Yesterday we went hiking. It was 51F in that canyon in Santa Barbara County. It was perfect, no coat needed, though I did wear my fingerless gloves so I could work the camera. That's my idea of a winter wonderland. (I grew up in Pennsylvania so I have experienced enough snow to keep me satisfied.) This is Aliso Canyon. Aliso is Spanish for sycamore.

27 with high of 34. Cloudy off and on but now skies are slowly clearing out.

Mountain View, HI

Weather is unusual for us. Its been grey and overcast, no wind, no rain and cool. Upper 60s low 70s. Light Wind, if any, has been out of the North West and North, rare for us. Tradewinds should return in a couple of days but should stay dry
For a few days the winds on the peaks of Mauna Kea were between 50 - 90 MPH.

Lava flow has started to creep again. This mornings reports says it advanced 15 yds since yesterday. Not much but it is moving.

Following peppers storm farther south, got about an inch of snow while I slept, then cleared off and temps dropped 4° more to 33°… the last of the clouds moving east at sunset, and dry roads to Carl's Corner, Tx

At home in my favorite slippers and thats just where my heart wants to be for New Years, the day has remained gray, but I am surrounded by trees that block most of the wind, and I am colder than i have been lately in Maine, Pa, Wis, Chicago, and I know its the humidity, the slow mizzling rains. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! Warm hands and hearts to all! Chuckl!

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

Our high was about 20 and it is now around 19. Woke up to single digits this morning.
