COLD DUST DEVIL??

Hmmmm. It's just wind. And there HAS been a COLD FRONT in California this week.

The deserts OFTEN have "dust devils" blowing the sand around. I've seen those a lot...hot, dusty air swirling around. It's just a weird weather phenomenon...all just WIND.

I guess they don't call the wind "Mariah" anymore. :o)

Dangerous wind, did you watch the video?

When we see them in the desert they aren’t blowing around the debris and tubing that we saw in this setting.

Dust Devils occur on Mars, also, at a temp of -100. Just need a column of warmer air (doesn’t take much).

Well...it was snowing in San Diego County today....

It`s a rare sight in Southern California but snow fell in Murrieta and down into many areas of San Diego County....up to 5 inches in the hills around Temucula

Last year a dust devil hit my son’s middle school, in Los Angeles county. About 60 PE students had notebooks and such grouped together on the blacktop. All the notebooks and such flew high up in the air and papers and binders fell back down on the kids and/or blew away. The lecture notes they had taken were unrecoverable.

I can readily imagine what a wind like that would do in the Rose Bowl.
