Like Mike G said.

It went from 47 to -7 in a fairly short amount of time. My vinyl sided house starting raising hell about 10pm. Popping and cracking type noises. Farm where my son lives - out of power. He's due here shortly with wife and both dogs. My brother, 3 miles away, still has power, furnace cant keep up, house is 57 degrees and dropping by the hour.

I remember as a kid, the winters being pretty harsh, and the Blizzard was awful. The local road department had a international dump truck with a giant V plow. The roads around here looked like open top tunnels! They got rid of the plow after decades of non-use. The wisdom of that decision is still playing out in some fashion.

And it will be almost 60 by next weekend. Mother Nature is off her meds.

With highs approaching 80* on Christmas Day here in San Diego, I'll be roasting Chestnuts down on the beach.
The storm thats in the NW now will be hitting us next week with rain and temps about 60*

Say what you will about California politics, gas prices, etc. You can't beat the weather.

It's why we call it "The Sun Tax'

Growing up in the midwest is why I appreciate the weather and put up with BS. Its easier to ignore bad politics than it is bad weather. Chances are... if you live in CA... you can afford to live in CA. BTW.... I live in the conservative part of CA.
