My Weather Today

[Schmeelkie]

An embarassing thought - everytime I hear, 'Santa Ana' - I think of an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 (the original), probably 1st or 2nd season, where Brandon (an ex-Minnesotan) says that hot wind in December is just WRONG! People always say how nice the weather always is in SoCal, but I'd think it was boring if not for weirdness like Santa Ana winds!

It's looking like a good weekend for the mall, not the ZooBoo - 50's and rain. Yuck!

[piqaboo]

Overcast and cool where we are. Had two hot days midweek.

[Schmeelkie]

Been having pretty typical October weather out here - highs ~55-65, some wind and rain. Looks dry for the weekend - we should be good to do ZooBoo. And hope the kid who mows the lawn has some free time too - it's quite shaggy. And after this weekend, he may only have to do it about once more... We're almost an inch above average for rain this month and five inches above average for the year so far and we weren't even in the path of Irene and Lee! I'd guess downstate and New England are running at least 10 inches of rain above average... here's hoping for a dry start to winter!

After a couple of sunny, warm days, today is cloudy and cool. I've put my jersey back on.

Beautiful up here in Northern Ca today. A cool start to the morning, but clear and sunny now. Should reach 85 with an off-shore breeze carrying warm temperatures to our coast. I wish I was scuba diving but wife had other ideas.

[Shapley]

We had our first frost late last week, but the weather has warmed again, with lows in the 40s and 50s, and highs in the 70s.

My wife and I traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas over the weekend. the weather there was in the upper 60s and low 70s, even after dark. We dined al Fresco, sans jackets, and the streets were filled with shorts-wearing tourists.

Can you guess what the weather in Honolulu was like? Can you?

Boring! (The wink smiley is, shall we say, on the blink)

Today was a warm spring morning, though it's clouding over now. I'm getting ready for summer by getting a screen door so that I can leave my bedroom ranchslider open at night. My bedroom is very cosy, and Waikato summer nights are sheet-only.

"87 degrees, UV index 11, rel. hum. 57%, winds 15 to 25 mph, partly cloudy, local news forecasts good waves on all sides of island..."

I invite you all to laugh. I just got a **RED FLAG WARNING** from the command on my work computer.

There's a low due to bring in a Santa Ana by midnight tonight, there will be dryness and wind. Maybe up to 35 or 40 in the Cajon Pass and over Tejachapi.
It may hit a high of 80 by Sunday. This does not warrant a weather warning. This is wind surfing weather*.

I thought the CO was an aviator. I may have to recheck that - this silliness sounds more like a storekeeper.

*With a wet suit. It ain't Waikiki.

We'll be down your way this weekend visiting our Temecula wine group friends...hoping for good weather

Its drizzled a drop or two, then the day dries up and gets sunny w puffy clouds. no idea of the temps, because its become thermostat wars in cubical land, and I end up wearing polar fleece at work year round. Altoid wore shorts today and didnt complain, so I'd guess it was above 70.

[Trumpetmaster]

rain today....... heavy at times...... temp in the 50's
going down into the 30's tonight

here comes old man winter......

[Schmeelkie]

Apparently the Denver, CO area had highs in the 80s on Monday and are currently in the teens with a blanket of snow! Clearing up there now - snowing in Amarillo, TX. We're only around 40 now, but I think the warm air around the lake is going to keep us in rain instead of snow today. More likely to get snow in the hills south of us... It was about 45 and drizzly all day yesterday - pretty miserable. Current forecast for Halloween is 55 and few showers - so, better than last year where is wasn't even 40 in the evening and was sleeting on us, but not as nice as a few years ago when it was 65-70 after the sun went down!
Did ZooBoo last weekend - probably didn't quite make it to 60 on Sunday, but it was sunny and the wind was light so we all stayed warm! This Saturday will be about 55 and sunny - think we might skip the circus and catch fall festivities at a local farm while we have the chance. It's the end of October and I haven't had any good fresh doughnuts yet! Cider, but not cider and doughnuts! Besides, I can get cider, doughnuts, apples and some squash and still spend less than I would on food at the circus.

Chilly and VERY clear this morning. Nineteen bazillion stars, and Orion on duty straight overhead as I came out the door this morning. The Santa Ana has arriven. It is here. It was still at a quarter-of-five but there will be wind later, you can count on it.

I dunno what it is about cubicle land and thermostat wars, but I too wear winterwear all year long, have two shawls and a blanket in a desk drawer...

***Lunchtime addition

Rechecked the forecast. Coronado should see some marine layer by tomorrow, it'll make it up to north county by Friday or Saturday night. Temecula should remain clear and dry through the weekend - there's a range of hills blocking the moisture into the local basin and there's typically a weather pattern break roughly parallelling S78, and Temecula/Murrietta/Lake Elsinore is in a separate climate. Immigrants from smaller states don't really seem to understand our attitude toward climate - we have several distinct climates in San Diego county alone. Anyway, jamie's Temecula oenophile visitation should be lovely, and I can deal with the fog. I have experience.**

[Trumpetmaster]

ground still very soggy this morning from yesterdays rain...

37 degrees when I walked Jenny this morning.
Put on her coat, she wagged her tail and away we went.........

Brrr.......

Big storm in the forecast tomorrow......

Thanks Selma! probably no Fat Ivor's visit this year but we'll have lots of good food and wine (of course) over the 3 day weekend we are there.

[BigJon]

They are calling for 6-8 inches of snow around here. Very rare for Oct.

[Schmeelkie]

I'm assuming TM doesn't have power today - happy b.com is up... will give the MIL a call today and see how she and the family are doing. Worcester MA got 11 inches of snow, so I'm assuming a big loss of power there. Again, we were far enough west to miss the storm coming up the coast. Beautiful sunny day yesterday even if it barely topped 50. Looks like we should avoid the rain for Halloween too. feel sorry for kids on the east coast - will folks do trick-or-treating by candlelight?

I live in western suffolk. (about the middle of Long Island) and on the south shore.
we had about 1 inch of ice and the rest was rain.

FORTUNATELY we never lost power.....
During Hurricane Irene we lost power for 2 days....

It seems Connecticut and NJ were the hardest hit areas.......
