Something Witchy This Way Comes

Storm is Leaving

Sat, 9 Feb 2013 03:33:00 GMT

Yesterday was like a summer day. But by the time the sun set, it was winter again with howling winds coming down off the mountain. Everything that wasn't nailed down wound up against the front fence. This morning there was a dusting of snow on the hills. About mid afternoon I saw some snowflakes swirling around but not enough to show up on a photo.
Tomorrow the model rocket fans are due to launch at the dry lake bed. It looks like it may rain/snow a bit tonight...

Well, my darlings, it is windy. The palm trees were bending way over just before sunset. I'm sure there will be wind damage.

Here Comes the Rain Again

It's been raining on and off all day. Now that it's almost midnight it's pouring pretty good out here in Anaheim. We need the rain so much so I'm not complaining. It's cozy inside. It's nice to have a warm bed to crawl into. I know not everyone is that fortunate.

Windy Day

I woke up just before 7AM and read my friend's Facebook page. She said the winds are so bad in Pasadena that it's been declared a state of emergency. A tree fell outside her house but at least it fell away from her house.Be careful if you are driving out there this morning. Check the Pasadena CA wind gauge and you'll see what I mean.

Southern CA WInd Storm

Thu, 1 Dec 2011 07:46:00 GMT

We are having a major wind storm right now. My daughter way up in Sunnyvale, my other daughter in SLO, and my friend in Pasadena all report high winds. That's half the state of CA. I'm having fun looking at the wind gauges on their respective wunderground pages. There are red flag warnings and fire warnings going on as well.I just hope the wind doesn't affect the Amtrak tomorrow as I plan to be on it for 6 hours.
