Reply #35: We're freezing our asses off here in central Calif.!

[doodadem]

We're in the mountains above the San Joaquin Valley (Citrus Central), about 2,000 feet elevation. Usually in winter, we can walk outside, sunny 50-60 degrees, and admire the snow on the big mountains above us in the Parks. We've been getting temps in the teens at night, and an inch of snow last week. Pipes busting everywhere, the washer froze up. And they're saying it's going to be this way pretty much the rest of the month. Yikes!

The good thing is, we're still getting our normal greening up for this time of year here. This is when everything turns a miraculous, vibrant shade of green. We have huge boulder outcroppings in several places on our ranch in very wooded areas, and they get very mossy, where it all looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. My early narcissus are still blooming......
