A NASA report out today said that they have recorded unprecedented snow pack in Northern California. Maybe that will help our water situation down here.

depends where you live. A lot of places don't have gas, so they have those old crappy in the wall electric heaters in each room that run the bill up to $300 in a month.

The wife and I just returned from a cruise to Mexico. It was beautiful in Cabo San Lucas and hot and muggy in Puerto Vallarta. As the ship started to head north past San Quentin on Friday it got cold really quick. I am ready to go back.

I have no idea what temperature it was outside in Mid-City this morning, but the inside of my house was 56 degrees. Brrrr! I had to turn on the heat during the day.

For snow season through this time? Would be quite the small sample size, if that were the case.

Edit: I was pretty curious, being a weather/snow sport geek. Referring to this?

Not really unprecedented snow pack, but sounds like a new technique for capturing that snow melt, or making the most of it. (Haven't read it all yet.)

Unprecedented snowpack maps from NASA's prototype Airborne Snow Observatory mission helped water managers for 2.6 million residents of the San Francisco Bay Area achieve near-perfect water operations this summer, despite the driest year in California's recorded history.

The high-resolution NASA snow maps of the Tuolumne River Basin in the Sierra Nevada helped optimize reservoir filling and hydroelectric generation at the Hetch Hetchy reservoir and its O'Shaughnessy Dam.

Climate Change: News - NASA snow mapper reaps big benefits for California

I follow NASA on G+ and this showed up on my stream today.

NASA Snow Mapper Reaps Big Benefits for California - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Looks like I may have mis-read their announcement. Yes, it is an unprecedented way of measuring snow pack. Nothing in there implies that we have record snowfall. I must have been thrown off by the 'good news for California'.

edit: Yes, that's the same info.

Lived my whole life in coastal CA and the last eleven years in the Antelope Valley. I used to think it got cold when the temps when I wake up in the winter are frequently in the high 20s or low 30s. Well . . . I'm learning this week that those aren't all that cold. This week, and next, I'm visiting Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho checking out some possible retirement places. I know that this area is pretty nice in the summer, but figured I'd better visit in the wintertime to see if I can take it. Today, when I woke up, the thermometer showed -5 F. Most of the day, the temps, as registered by the car, was in single digits. Right now, at 9:00 p.m., it shows 1 degree here in Thermopolis.

Didn't really feel that cold today, except when the wind was blowing.

Hey Volo,
Have fun in Wyoming! Hopefully, by the time you get to Idaho the cold spell will be over. Those extreme temps right now are unusual, but it's not a bad thing to be exposed to them now so you can judge if you can handle it when the NW throws its worst temps at you!

It's cold when it hurts to breathe...when icicles form off your nose...when you can't feel your feet or hands when you finally get indoors...So no, SoCal is not cold! Except up in the mountains.

If, for some reason, you should become really chilled, remember not to put your feet or hands in hot water immediately, even if you want to. Room temperature water will help get the circulation going. And rub your feet with a towel, but gently, because you won't feel it if you're rubbing too hard! I grew up with chilly winters, and I still remember some of the old advice...Double layer socks! Thermal underwear! Woolen cap! Lined gloves! Wool, wool, wool! Blankets, water, flashlight, and nutrition bars in the car! Stay with the car if you get lost! Good advice for you by Stealthrabbit over on the WY forum...
