PalmGuyWC Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Happ, About every other year a big high pressure will settle over Calif. and we can get 2 or 3 weeks of warm weather in Feb or March. It happened up here last year. We went directly from cold to warm for about 2 weeks. Do you see anything like that happening this year, or is it to far out or hard to predict?

PalmGuyWC Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Crisp nights and sunny warmish days here the last 3 days, and today even warmer, near 65F. Yesterday the sun was warm enough to heat my rain buckets to a tepid temp. I watered all the plants under the overhang with warm rain water. The rain and a few days of sun have greened all the hills in N. Calif. and the Poppies will be blooming soon. The wild flowers in the West should make a spectacular show this year.

PalmGuyWC Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 It appears the "sometimes" high pressure we get over Calif. in Feb or March is asserting its self. This past week in N. Calif. has been mild with mid 60's to low 70's and night lows around 40F. It looks like more of the same for the coming week. My low this morning is 42F, and near 70F today for a high. Perfect weather to work in the garden, but I'm not fooling myself, as we will probably have some more cold weather before Spring gets here.
