Winter in california (2012) (luxury, place to live, beach)

[steel7]

Will we be cheated out of a winter this year in ca ? Before you know it the long hot & dry summer will be here. I like the rain & havent seen any in awhile plus the days are getting longer.

T-giving day was fall. It has rarely rained here in yucaipa but a few weeks in dec was unseasonably cold.

Hey dude, this is California not some subtropical location.. We have beautiful dry summers and non of that miserable humidity other parts of the world experience.. We have also exotic terrain and weather such as the coastal fog etc etc.. Which acts as a natural a/c in summer

one of the heaviest winters we ever had, 82-83, was dry until the end of January. From then to the middle of April there were only 10 days that it did not snow at Tahoe.

Yeah, much of the country is having a strange non-winter so far.

We get our share of humid summer days here (more then past years). It just would be nice if we got rain throughout the year & not mainly in winter. Im too far from the beach to get the nice summer fog & cool weather. Santa monica would be a ideal place to live. One summer yrs ago in late july i drove to santa monica where it was a foggy 60 degree day. Here it was over 90. What a big temp difference. Today the red flag warning is out for high winds but it rairly gets windy here. Its nice & calm now.

The Rockies have been getting clobbered since September.

The upper midwest got nailed this week.

The SE has been on and off.

The mid south had snow earlier in the week.

Parts of the rockies are 2 ft. below average in snow.
Where i spend time in the mountains of Idaho, it hasn't even snowed a total of 8 inches this year ... way below average.
A week ago more than 300 record high temperatures were recorded.
It was 55 degrees in Fargo last week and the record high temps extended into California and the desert Southwest.
Record high heat was recorded in the northwest as well ... Bend, OR at 60 degrees.
Northern New England just got the first significant snow fall since that odd October storm.
My friend was in a t-shirt with 60 degree temp in Boston last week.
It's hardly rained at all in CA ... not too mention no snow to speak of in the Sierra.

"Officials reported the snowpack water content throughout the Sierra at 19 percent of the average for early January.
Half of the state’s rainfall and snow typically comes in December, January and February,” said California Department of Water Resources Chief Deputy Director Sue Sims. So when we have virtually nothing in December it’s going to be very tough to make that up.”

"Across the U.S., almost one thousand high temperature records have been broken or tied this January, and more than 1,400 in the last week."

"Flowers are sprouting in January in New Hampshire, the Sierra Mountains in California are nearly snow-free, and lakes in much of Michigan still have not frozen. It’s 2012, and the new year is ringing in another ridiculously wacky winter for the U.S."
