osideterry 96 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Weather.com and weatherunderground differ wildly regarding forecast lows Sunday and Monday morning. Weather.com has me at 42F both days, while weatherunderground has me at 34F both days. For reference, the record cold for those days is 42F and 40F. If that birdbath has ice in it again, I'm going to be pissed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am done with this winter. It is in the can. Keith Thanks for reminding us :laugh: springtime across the US can get quite interesting but beware Keith, our storm will be your storm later in the week. This baby is a shot across the bow from Arctica [ & will become dangerous once it enters the Plains & Gulf Coast. Can't help but get concerned when snow levels drop below 3000' /914.4m even for just 24 hrs [increases likelihood of hale & thunderstorms. Appears storm's cold core will affect San Diego more than Los Angeles [due to rain shadow that the Transverse Range creates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter John 220 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 I have to admit that until I read the details on weather in California on this board from you kind palmaholics, I truly thought that the weather there was similar to ours here in Brisbane, South East Queensland. Not so, not so by a very long shot. There but for the grace of geonoma go I. I hope you get some warmth and long hours of it asap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalfan 918 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 The wind is howling here at the moment but its hot--80 of so. They thought we might get to 85 and break the record for the hottest day so far this year (which was 84 one day last month) but its too cloudy for that to happen. We are going to an outdoor wedding at 6pm today so I hope the bride doesn;t just blow off into the sunset. Out long range forecast for the next 10 days doesn;t show any of that really cold weather reaching FL, but, that could always change. I started to take stuff out of the greenhouse today, but am keeping it to a minimum, and keeping it CLOSE in case it has to go right back in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not nearly as hot when the wind is coming off the gulf (from the S/SE) but it is much more humid and probably feels just as hot or hotter. It alternates between super humid and dry around here, depending on which direction the wind is blowing, and if it coming off the gulf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe_OC 1,603 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Don't know about San Diego, Orange County has been experiencing a very cold, windy day. There is no rain, but the unstable low has brought on some of the nastiest cold winds that I can remember. Palms are being blown all over...It's not a dry wind like the Santa Anas, but it can not be good for the palms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like we will be OK on this one. Coming through on Wed but will only drop highs from 81 down to 72 and lows from 58 down to 48. We do rarely get caught by late spring freezes, but most years by now the mightly Gulf of Mexico begin to rule the day pushing the fronts up with its warm moist air meeting the cool stuff in the midwest. That is when thens go crazy in Kansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, etc. Not that we don't pay our price too. Come June is hurricane season where we get to sit on pins and needles for 5 or 6 months.

Kim 4,159 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 The hail woke me up several times last night; seemed like it rained a lot, some wind and lightning and thunder. Not much in the rain guage though, only about 1/4". Maybe the hail just bounces off the rim? Low recorded was 46, seemed colder than that. Pretty nice all day Sunday.

_Keith 775 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Funny how perceptions are sometimes not inline with reality. I always felt So Cal was a much warmer place than Louisiana. I have been there many times, but almost always in summer, so never realized that your winters were on average so cold. Not yankee land cold, but as cold as ours for the most part. We beat you on the extremes, but you stay cooler longer. I always thought San Diego was like Miami. Before palm interest got me reading your weather threads, my perceptions were not inline with reality. Keith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
