What is Your Weather?

It's cold for us, around 50, with winds 30 to 40 miles an hour. Gusts in the Inland Empire are up to 60 miles an hour. Several big rigs have been blown over. They are not even trying to upright them until the wind stops. A motorcyclist was blown off the road by a gust. Santa Anna winds come in the spring and fall, not midwinter. Weird weather. :ohmy:

It's weird how most of the southland can be windy with the Santa Ana's and it'll be dead calm in LA in the city, and you're just over the hill from where I am, like 10 miles. We don't get that funneling effect here in the city.
 
Whitman airport is reporting wind gusts up to 58 miles an hour. That only about 10 miles from me in the north east San Fernando Valley. The palm trees are really bending over here. You don't get these winds because you aren't below any of the passes. I'm a little to the west of the Newhall Pass on the south side of the Valley.
 
I know the Valley well as I lived all over the valley (I moved a lot) from the early 70's through the mid 80's before I finally moved out to the city. My parents had a teppan restaurant in Tarzana on Ventura Bl near Haskell back in the day until one day Benihanna opened shop directly across the street from them and killed their business.
I don't miss the valley as I can't tolerate the summer heat. My daughter and her husband just bought a home in Sherman Oaks, right behind Trader Joe's.
 
I know exactly where that TJ's is, right off of White Oak. I used to go there until they opened one in Woodland Hills. The parking at the Sherman Oaks one is terrible. I'm in Tarzana just off of Wilbur and Topham where the rail road tracks used to be. Now it's the Orange Line. It's still very windy here. Good thing that DH put his ham radio tower down last night.
 
I feel a little guilty Posting this, especially after that huge storm back East. Wow- Even Phoenix had a 29 degree Temperature this am.
By the weekend, we will be in the mid 70's.
Here is a picture of a flower growing in Walgreen's Parking lot last night, and my Almond tree this am.

It's a beautiful day. It will get up to the 80's and it'c clear with little wind, just a breeze.
 
Supposed to snow here too. Shouldn't stay around too long though. I think it's supposed to finally make into the 60's this weekend.
 
It's in the 60's with Santa Ana winds up to 25 mph again today. The apricot tree is blooming. So are the azaleas and camelias. We are supposed to get some rain next week.
 
42F now and I think it said something about close to 60F later. But I don't believe them till I feel/see it!!
 
Last week, OK experienced record-breaking low temps. One town registered -31 degrees F, the coldest low ever recorded in this state.

In a couple days, we are expecting 70's.

That's a one-hundred-degree shift in less than a week.

I've grown up living with the fact that we experience some pretty wild weather here in OK. But this is getting ridiculous!
 
It's been hovering around 80 and sunny here all week. Next week looks like more of the same. It's sure nice to get back to normal.

:sun3:
