As we begin a mostly showery 10 day forecast period, I was wondering if we have had any freezes here this winter. I don't recall any, but I've been a bit less weather geeky than usual. I don't recall any stubborn guys with the wrong tires on their cars burning their rubber off trying to get traction to go up, instead of around, the hill (it is never treated here, though the uppermost part is).
If we get through March like this, we will have enjoyed a truly lovely extended-autumn-to-early-spring period with fewer bits of melted tires in the air.
We'll have the climate of Los Angeles before you know it! Except we're inland. Hm. Bakersfield?
