Broke 60 degrees Farenheit down here. lol.Pretty warm out, -6C.
Couple pics of the snow we have on the ground since the snow fall a few days ago:
There are years where the snow would be higher than those vents on the side of the house and more or less over the fences.
Hit 60F here today before the storm moved in close, 3 hours later (now) it's 46F, super windy with rain. Usually by this date it's very spring-like and I've already planted my tomato seedlings. It's been nothing like that. It has warmed some, but the rains keep on coming. We're supposed to have 4 straight dry days starting in 2 days (which we haven't had in a looooong time), but I'm not counting on it. The forecasts have been relatively unreliable the last couple months.Broke 60 degrees Farenheit down here. lol.
Yeah, they were saying the atmospheric river was gonna hit SoCal this time. Weird year for sure.
There's an overturned big rig on the lower level of the Bay Bridge right now, likely caused at least in part by the 70+mph wind gusts. They have a tow truck there but are awaiting the arrival (slow!) of a 2nd tow truck. When that arrives they will try to get the truck back up on its tires. Meantime that way on the bridge is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal slow.Wind and rain. The wind is very intense, there's a spiraling low pressure system centered 15-20 miles away, causing the high winds. Sustained winds of 27mph, likely 40mph+ (Edit: 74mph measured at Oakland Airport! 77mph in San Fran.) gusts and the temperature has dropped 13F in the last 2 hours or so to 47F. Listening to the wind is a symphony.
Yeah a significant chunk of North America is watchful and scared.+2 with a winter storm warning, and the wind is picked up. I think we are about to get hit with a storm. Hope it cools off or it's going to be the really nasty wet stuff.
we are getting hit with a winter storm. looks like a blizzard right now.
