I was only able to get the temperature of my office up to 83F today.

Nearly froze to death.

I think we need to send you a torpedo heater. Cook you out...

Torpedo heater? What is that? Sounds like something insertable. Where in the world would one insert a torpedo heater?

I think I will just let this one slide. er pass.

Moi, have you been blown away yet. I hear Pasadena got clobbered yesterday or last night, so how are things with you, house still standing, trees still in the ground?

Yes there was a Severe Wind Storm up by your old haunts and as far south as Pasadena.

Why did your President's Weather Office stress me out about a distant wind storm?

It is now that cold, dry air that gets into your bones. They say it is sixty two but, it feels chillier then that.

Cat's fur is not sparking yet, I will give updates.

62, LOL that's still shorts and t-shirt weather. chill what a wuss.

I finally started wearing my hoodie this week, its down below 30, I guess I will need to stop wearing my sandals soon they are a bitch to wear in the snow.

62 LOL

It is that low humidity leech the heat right out of you air. 56F. River laughs.

Wind, put on a good wind breaker. This air is just, heat sucking no matter what the numbers.

I know many of you are concerned and worried over continuing wind reports near my turf.

Sometimes the wind storms can occur here but, this one has stayed about 60 miles north if you want to find fallen trees and power outages. Most of southern California has underground utilities but the outages occurred in areas with old fashion, East Coast like over head lines prone to storm damage.

What pisses me off, is my natural gas powered generator has a dead battery so it would only be so much junk if I did have a black out. Monday is repair day.

Here is an article on the science of the Santa Ana winds.

Some say they are more properly Santa Anna winds but, confused with General Santa Ana, the Napoleon of the West, and the dust his army could kick up, like the winds.

Above all, do not worry about me and the winds, I am ok!

SNOW, yes we got our first good snow of the year and about time too, about 3 or 4 inches, everything is so clean white and just wonderful, I love the snow this time of year, its when its still around in April that I am tired of it.

River

Keep it, I hate it.

I have a tendency to go ballistic driving in it and blow out 4wd parts.

It is raining here now, it is supposed to turn into snow by morning.
