Who says it doesn't get cold in California?
« on: January 15, 2007, 02:26:17 pm »
Well, I don't know what I did to deserve this, but we have gotten cold around here. I know, I know. I generally pipe in with how nice the weather is year 'round and all, but I have had to cancel two tennis dates and I couldn't get anyone to go waterskiing with me last week because it has been so darn cold. Sheesh. I don't know how you folks deal with this stuff..

I got up to snap a picture of the ICE on the cover of my spa this morning, but by time I got dressed warmly enough to go out, and warmed up the lens filter on my camera so it would stop fogging over, the ICE was gone. Sorry.




Here's a headline from the Ventura County Star:

[size=16]Frigid temperatures hit $1 billion citrus industry[/size]

State official to inspect damage to county crops

By Marjorie Hernandez, and Stephanie Hoops, mhernandez@VenturaCountyStar.com; shoops@VenturaCountyStar.com
January 15, 2007

Another day of record cold temperatures crumpled crops, burst pipes and closed roads Sunday around Ventura County.

So far, the frigid air has struck hardest at the state's $1 billion citrus industry. The secretary of the state Department of Food and Agriculture, A.G. Kawamura, planned to visit Ventura County today to inspect damage to citrus crops. He will tour a packing house and orchard.

"It was a very bad night," Nancy Lungren, a department spokeswoman, said Sunday.

Camarillo's temperature dipped to 27 degrees early Sunday, breaking a record low of 31 set in 1962. Sunday's low was 19 degrees in Ojai, 21 in Fillmore, 25 in Thousand Oaks and 28 in Ventura.

Damage to citrus groves in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California was "widespread" and "significant," Lungren said. The full impact won't be known until inspectors have a chance to check fruit picked after the cold snap began Friday. [/font]

You got that right Chas. 27 degrees this morning in Sunnyvale when I went out to my car at 7:30am.

Flushed my irrigation pipes and covered any exposed pipes with insulation last weekend. A cousin had some pipes burst at his cabin up in the Sierras.

Bought another 1/4 cord of wood for the wood stove this weekend too.

Us native Californicators are wimps when it comes to the cold.  :'(

In the East we are enjoying a warm-up that is unbelievable..I cleaned my tub yesterday and could do it barefooted and in shorts...

I just say thanks for sharing your great weather with us...
I guess we are doing the same for you... :o..
It will only make you appreciate your warm weather even more when it returns! I do feel bad for the farmers though  :(

Chas, 27 isn't bad when there is snow to play in.  FINALLY some of us Minnesotans got a few inches last night.  We were scheduled to have no school today, so it's been fabulous.  Everywhere you go, the hills are packed with families and with warm cars waiting as it is 11 degrees, but feels like -2 with the cold NW wind.  

Everyone is outside having a blast!!  We'll sleep well tonight.  :)

With all the warm weather in the north east, the mosquitos are coming out of hibernation...I have tons of mosquitos, ..more than in the summer time...the water is still too cold for the mosquito larva to survive, so the adults are going to die without reproducing..My prediction is that this winter may actually reduce the mosquito populations...I hope I am right. ;)
