It's really cold here in Northern California! Is your weather changing?

I read that there's a brutal Winter storm passing through Montana right now. I emailed my buddy up there to see if he's buried in snow. Here in California, it's really chilly today. It's supposed to reach 69 or 70 F, but it feels like it's in the 50s F as Noon approaches. Is the weather changing where you are? MyLot friends have told me that the Midwest went cool yesterday. I just wish some rain would come with the chill here.

Spokane is about 2 hours to the East of me. They got snow yesterday. My world got just cold and a northern wind. Sunshine but dang it is cold out. From autumn to winter just this quick. The night temps are headed to the teens.

@TheHorse I'm glad that a few days ago we turned our pump house heater on. Frozen pipes are the pits.

@just4him Understood. Right now it's all about ease of getting around. Plus (I assume) you want to be able to watch it come down from your comfy spot.

@TheHorse I didn't think you did. As much as I want snow soon, I'm hoping it holds off until I'm home after surgery and rehab.

It's supposed to rain here tomorrow and for most of next week. But things can change. Temps mostly in the 50s, though there will be a few 60s days.

I'm not sure if we have any (large) active fires right now. I saw a small one by the side of the freeway a couple of weeks ago, but I think they got to it quickly.

@LindaOHio We really do. But according to the "drought chart," other states have it worse than California.

Alas, the clouds have moved away. No rain today. But the sun has warmed things up into (I'd guess) the lower 60s F.
