T-shirt weather here in the Bay Area too, but I want RAIN. We NEED RAIN!!! My SoCal zipcode will see 80s today and tomorrow rising to 90 Monday and Tuesday. It's been warm and sunny this past week but it's unusual to see 90s this early in the year. weather.com/forecast/regional/news/record-heat-dry-california-february-2016As for the rains, not to worry-- (NWS Sacramento) Dry spells during #ElNino winters are not uncommon. Most prior strong #Elnino have had long dry stretches! #cawx 10:08 AM - 9 Feb 2016

Many years ago I noticed that Presidents Day seems to include some warm weather. I love calling friends and family from the beach to complain about needing sunscreen in the dead of winter. I wonder why no one feels sorry for us here on the California Coast? We sometimes get cold too and I get nervous when the highs are below 60! Setiously folks, please try to stay warm and healthy - bundle up if you must go out - remember pets and other animals - and lots of booze always helps. Oh yeah, I also have a guest room. & ETA - I still want to see a picture Marley's dog in flip flops! Lol

Went out to get a feel for how bad it will be tonight. Winds are picking up so the wind chill is increasing. Right now not so bad as there is sun and we are positive for temp and wind chill. Should be about -10 with wind chill when I leave work tonight.

Lol When it hits below minus 20 and your eyes and the inside of your nose freeze up, when your words freeze as soon as they leave your mouth, to shatter on the pavement below....that's when I regret leaving California and coming home. You should hear it in the spring, when all those words start melting. What a cacophony!

It's not as bad here as other places but still brain-freezing, why-am-I-out-here? cold. The dog isn't handling it particularly well. I've taken him outside five times already and he just keeps forgetting why he wanted to go outside.

We made sure our pup got a good long walk in this morning while it was still sunny and 25 out. I expect he won't do much more than a super quick squat and pee until Monday when it is supposed to be in the...40s.

I thought about getting gas. Don't want it too low with these temperatures. I still have half a tank so I skipped it tonight.

Wow. I'm not sure we ever get lower than negative single digits here. Of course, wind chill is another story. We do get wild swings in temperature, though. Yesterday or the day before (I can't remember exactly) , it was 11F. Friday is expected to be 47.

Day two of Operation Squatting Dog is about to commence. I'm bundled up. The dog has been bundled in much more breezy garments. Maybe throwing this silly little jacket over not much of him will keep enough blood flowing to his paws and brain that he will be able to do his business.
Please wish me luck. I work the graveyard shift and want to go to bed soon. If this doesn't succeed, I'll be afraid to go to sleep.

Victory! I can sleep now and wonder later about what the neighbors thought. I was faced with the choice between letting the dog hop home on three legs while trying to keep his coldest foot off the pavement or carrying him. Either way, I had to play the brute.

We are manic. Very cold last night. Today 38 degrees F. Strange ND weather this year. Last weekend 50 degrees. Usually we are in insulated everything this time of year.
Stay warm and keep the animals warm.
