Daily Weather, January 2006, New Year, New Start!
Anza, Kelly... meant to say.
It was 33° this morning at 7:15.Out in the open the yards were covered in frost, so maybe my plants survived that were shielded by the trees. No freeze, yipee!!
Here comes the sun.....watching the frost disappear as the sun touches it.
Pati
Well, it didn't freeze here last night either. Yipee!!!
Yesterday I picked half dozen ripe dime sized tomatoes off a five foot bush that is loaded. They are an heirloom variety I got at an herb farm with some north Florida DG'ers. I put one ripe one aside for seed.
52 °F / 11 °C 69% 30.31 in / 1026 hPa Sunny at 8 mph / 13 km/h 10:55 AM EST according to WU. The low here was in the mid 30s.
Blooms I pray you have some rain too. The dessert in bloom is amazing. I saw one occasionally when I lived in El Paso for 10 years. I also got to spend 2 years in the Albquerque area.
Kelli I never know what to pray for when it comes to all of you in California. It seems it's either mudslides or drought. I pray you too get just the rain you need.

It's a big state. The northern half has had too much rain. The southern half has not had all that much.

well, the fires have hit us now. there is one "under control" less than 2 miles east of us. nothing but barbed wire fence, mesquite covered ranch land, and two two-lane roads between it and us!!! Thank goodness for a mild wind from the OPPOSITE direction, though that puts more houses [which are very remote] in danger on the east side of the fire...

tf
TF, Those dew points are like the Sahara!
Our day started with a dusting of snow. Low in mid 20s. The winds picked up a bit around 1 PM and cleared it all out. So I snapped this.
Now calm, 32F.
Andy P
Marilyn.............just come over and peak out the windows as much as you like.
The temp wanders from 14 F to 30 F. We haven't been getting any more snow (thank God) but we haven't got much sun either.
Janett
yes Andy, and this dryness has been really bad for my hands, and everyone's breathing. so glad it hasn't been cold on top of that!
fire is out i think!
tf
LOOK we got sunshine today........whohoooooooooo
The small white blurr in the middle of the sky is the moon. Temp is around 20 F.
Janett
yahoo! you must have gotten our sunshine, it is so overcast, and there was not even a sunrise...
Hey, guess what? Windy again.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 2 PM PST this afternoon.
North to northeast winds of 25 to 35 with occasional
gusts to 45 mph will continue through early this afternoon. Favorable
areas for the strongest winds include the Newhall pass... northern
San Fernando Valley... Simi Valley... and the Highway 126 corridor.
A Wind Advisory means that winds of 30 mph or greater are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
Again the day started overcast with temps in mid 20s. Things cleared up by 11 AM to give us a spectacular afternoon. Temps in high 40s, light winds and azure sky.
It was so nice that Sarah and I went to the big State Park.
Here is a pic. (More in the Photo forum)
Andy P
As I said before, beautiful!
IT'S SNOWING!!!
It was a forecasted "possibility", but i figured they were just selling ratings again...LOL
you should have heard/seen my kids out in it. Granted, my four year old has never remembered Christmas without snow, and we didn't even get rain for such a long time. He said, "Yes this is a Holiday indeed, it's Christmas now!"
i coudln't get him to stop eating the snow, first of the season is soooo dirty....
realing blwoing in from the North. I put my rain guage back out. Praying for the best moisture, and sending it down south too!
tf
Send it on down. We need rain desperately.
Whoa I think I here thunder. Hope that means rain. We need a nice slow rain for about 6 months or more to even get the first inch deep of soil wet.
Saw pics on weather channel of snow in Ok and Tx !! for heavens sake that's a sudden drop in temps. Hopefully it will cover enuff area to actually change the humidity level, that would help with the fires.
What little moisture we have had over the past month has sorta beaded up on the surface layer and there's no moisture in the ground. I was in the garden just two days ago and dug down to see.
We're running 20s at night and around 50 in the day. Lots of sun. High pressure keeping the wood smoke [from stoves] in the valley. Kinda like putting a lid on a pot.

Blooms the weather network is wondering where our *normal* winter disappeared to. ;) Right across Canada we are sharing similar temps. The arctic mass is hovering just above northern Saskatchewan (still mainly in the Northwest Territories). Also those that own snowmobiles are having to head way north (or visit the Dakotas).
The last two winters we really suffered under -54°F temps. The minus 20's are usual but we certainly have swings in either direction.
A somewhat pleasant 57.0°, slight breeze and way too nice to be confined to the factory today, but I was stuck there anyways.
That's the way of it Dyson... and when you don't have work you can't afford to go anywere. LOL
All that cold fell down onto Japan I think. They had feet of the stuff. and Artic cold
Lilypon, my stepson who used to live in Moose Jaw said there was nothing between there and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence. You better check that out....someone may have put up a wall. LOL
Just a little lame early morning humor....really need that cup of coffee.
Pati
I'll take the wall instead Pati ;) (but we sure would like some snow).
Blooms I think you've got it right....we are getting Japan's rains and they are getting our cold and snow.
I hope it will pan out to be a normal winter here. I imagine the Atlantic won't cool down a whole lot if we don't. Not good for the Gulf Coast. :(
woke up this morning and heard drops falling, tough is was raining.........No its was jut a heatwave (for us) of 40 dgr F that melted the snow on the roof. Its been pretty warm here but the sun doesn't start to shine until tomorrow.
The weather forecast for the next few days are sunny to partially cloudy and around 40 F. Jiippppppeeeeeeeeee.
Janett
this is what I sometimes wake up to. its from my bedroom.
what a beautiful site, Janett!
Janett, that's like a painting. I always liked icicles, somehow magical.
We were promised snow showers for tomorrow... not gonna happen. Now they say maybe Sunday. Beats me how they dare predict 3-4 days away when they can't get today right. LOL
Today we have the kinda of clouds that are like a ripple of bridal tulle across the entire sky with the sun bleary eyed thru it. LOL well a poet I'm not.
47* hi and 27* low not bad for mid-winter.

Blooms................ the only thing I like about the winter is the icicles and Christmastime. The rest I can do without.brrr
We have sunny weather for the most, some thin veillike clouds passing by. no wind. above 32F is expected.
Janett
Well, we have another of our wild blue sky days. It's 47* out already at 10:30 in the morning - must be going to get up in the low 50s today.
Hurrah, I'm gonna go out and start on cutting off last years dead stuff. I leave the old stalks to catch tree leaves and provide a kind of protection during our open winters.
Sidney, I can see the sun in a chariot, racing behind the retreating fog. LOL
Blooms, I'm on my way out to do yard work too.
This is the calm before the storm, here.
54F with increasing clouds, wind moderate from the SSW.
Lots of wind and rain expected tomorrow.
All the snow is gone and I can get out to do that clean up that I neglected in the Fall.
Andy P
They're calling for rain (60% chance) on Saturday, but it doesn't look like it now.
