The view from our friend's condo in SoCal yesterday. It will be destroyed. Luckily, she has 2 sons she can go live with temporally until she finds a new home.
Those same winds are hitting New Mexico and it's very, very cold here. View attachment 17133

Sorry to hear this. Hope she had time to pack the things that mattered most.

My sister lives in Sacramento, she has a "go bag" in case fires start near her. Cali people are scared. It's dry and very windy there and it would just take a spark to start a huge wild fire. In New Mexico it's the same. Dry and windy and cold. (17degrees with a 3-5 mph wind.)Dusting of snow. I don't want to even go outside even if the sun is shining. Brutal! Will just watch dvr OSU and movies(The Godfather).

Sorry for your friend's condo - hopefully she can get back on her feet quickly.

But the same winds aren't hitting New Mexico. The California fires are a direct result of the Santa Ana winds that are fairly common this time of year. This is a California specific phenomena...

talked to the captain of this boat we sleep on.
at 5:00 this morning, temp was 37°, 52mph sustained winds, gusts hit 71mph with a driving rainfall.

i don’t know what the “feels like” or wind chill was.
but i can tell you that it physically hurts being in that shit.

that was tropical storm type winds and rains. which i’ve been through enough of those that they don’t even register for me anymore.
but those happen in SUMMER when it brings a short relief from the 90+ degree heat.

this shit happening while isolated out over open water, elevated about 100 foot above the surface, and temps in the 30’s is absolutely miserable.

snowed at my house today.
first time since ‘89.

so first time my kids ever see snow in they lives and i’m 20 miles offshore.

no accumulation, so y’all wouldn’t even consider this a snow.
but it’s a big deal for us

Happy for your kids. Kinda wish you'd gotten enough to build a snowman. My childhood was in Wiliiamsburg, so snow was a premium item there, too, although we could sometimes get several inches. It was always magical.

Got some good news on our friends condo in Ventura county. It survived but the air quality is so bad that people who are back have to use face masks and run air cleaners in their homes to make life even a little tolerable. Our friend is still scared to go back because the fire is next to the highway back to where her condo is. She'll stay up north for a while till the fires are better under control. But, I'm sure everything in her condo smells like a fire.
