I was traveling through a hilly area today in Orange County, and the entire Southern California area looks very similar to this right now, but with more snow on the mountains.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Wednesday had the potential to be the coldest day yet as a cold spell held its grip on the Bay Area, a National Weather Service forecaster said.
Forecaster Duane Dykema said Wednesday could top Tuesday, when a number of Bay Area cities saw record low temperatures, as the coldest day of the week.
A freeze warning was in effect Wednesday night into Thursday morning for the North Bay interior valleys, where low temperatures were expected in the 20s.
On Tuesday, San Rafael had a low of 28 degrees, tying the city's previous record for the date set in 1972. The North Bay had some of the lowest recorded temperatures in general, Dykema said, with many areas reaching the low-20s.

“low-20s.”
Now that is getting cold!!
23 degrees this AM in Marin County.
Yep, 30 years. Interestingly, that is also one of the timing-cycles for sunspots.
God has a great sense of humor.
But the AP just published a story saying that 2000 - 2009 is the warmest decade in recorded history.
It’s is cold here in Dallas as well....not as cold as WI but darn cold for the “D”.....I was born and raised in MN so there is a whole lot of shivering y’all.......yup we are enjoying this all bull warming......
God does have a sense of humor doesn’t he.
Dang global warming. Where is the theory that increased CO2 causes record cold in SF?
22 this morning in Petaluma. We usually try and play a round of golf at 7 am or so on Wednesdays, they had a frost delay until 11 am. Bring on that global warming!
A mild north westerly Pacific breeze, crystal clear, sunny, flowers all blooming and the temp gage says 65 degrees...A little chilly but I'll hang in there.
With unlimited visibility...The mountains surrounding Southern California are covered with snow, and looks really beautiful from a distance. lol...
For here, it is...I grew up back East and lived in MA, VA and NY, there’s no comparison, but for a place where 40 is really cold, it’s a strange weather pattern.
Why not just cut through all the Climate Change posturing and just impose a Prosperity Tax on the Powerless which is the whole point after all
It's about -20 below with the wind chill factored in...
It has been quite cold here in Glendale, California also, bordering Los Angeles on the North, Pasadena on the west, and Burbank on the South East.
Our average temperatures for yesterday’s date are 69 and 42. Yesterday’s temperatures were in actuality, 52 and 33. We were seventeen degrees below the average high for the day, and nine degrees below the average low.
The high for this date was set in 1975, and was 85 degrees. The low for this date was set in 1978, and it was 22 degrees.
Yesterday we were 33 degrees below the record high, and 9 degrees above the record low.
Our climate is obviously warming. Woe is me...
I used to live in North Hollywood and Hermosa Beach before I got married.
I miss LA’s weather, and the gangs, too.

Bragger! Posts like yours make me want to move back to San Diego.
Now I’m in Nevada but I grew up in the Bay Area so I know well how cold that is there. On the other hand, I live a few miles northeast of Reno-Sparks and it was -13 degrees at my tack shed this morning...
Yeah, I’m sure the gang activity is sorely missed. LOL
The weather is generally good here though.
I realize my mention of temperatures is actually warm for most of the country, but the point being that these temperatures are quite told for our area. No GoreBlow Worming here...
Global warming needs to be encouraged right now...in Portland, we haven’t been above freezing 3 days now(at least the 25 mph winds have stopped).
Gonna pour myself a nice warm mug of schadenfruede.
You should move "doan by da cities", also known as the Banana Belt, doncha know.
The weather in Southern California is worth a fortune to us...It's Mediterranean like and makes for really good living.
There are only 6 other regions on the planet with similar climatic conditions, and Southern California is one of them.
The Orange trees are loaded and flowers all blooming!
More proof that the sun is the dominant factor in earth’s temperature changes.

“Sun Goes Longer Than Normal Without Producing Sunspots”
“ScienceDaily (June 9, 2008) — The sun has been lying low for the past couple of years, producing no sunspots and giving a break to satellites.”

But the AP just published a story saying that 2000 - 2009
is the warmest decade in recorded history.

Yeah, on the home planet of the AP, MSM, and the warmist climate “scientists”.
“There are only 6 other regions on the planet with similar climatic conditions, and Southern California is one of them.”
Let me try.
Australia, Chile, South Africa, Mediterranean basin.
Dry summer, mild winter.

The areas are similar, but not identical. For example here on the Pacific Coast, the pattern is the same from the northern Baja coast to San Francisco, but getting cooler as you go north.

God is not mocked ‘tards.
Your lovingly crafted little models repeatedly left out solar activity because you said it didn’t matter - GW was caused by human activity. So, solar activity ceased - see how you like it.
Too bad there’s only a screen door between us and all junk science worshippers.
No, Al Gore is correct. I was in the San Fran area and had tremendous gas. I’m home now in the midwest and they are now freezing. That must have been it.
It’s frozen in Los Angeles today. The surrounding mountains are covered with heavy snow!
Yep, but the snow is heavy and way low on those mountains. The rain on Monday & Tuesday turned to snow.
A striking site is at Bolsa Chica State Beach, where a 360 degree view is beautiful on days like this.
To the sea Catalina and San Clemente Islands.
Down the coast of Orange County, piers, beaches and hillsides.
Up the coast to Long Beach/Los Angeles harbors, Queen Mary, Spruce Goose hangar, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Looking inland the skyline of Los Angeles, the snow covered San Gabriel mountains, San Bernardino mountains, and snow on OC’s very own Saddleback mountain.
(I don’t recognize your picture as OC)
If it's not Global Warming, it will be Global Cooling; if not Global Cooling then something else.
When will it sink in? This is not about saving the planet.
This is about power over every nook and corner of our lives, by the perverts, the racists, the entitlement crowd, Countries Worldwide who feel entitled to the fruits of American blood and sweat.
They thought the time was right; They will be proven wrong.
According to the UN.
Ha ha?
We need to examine everything that comes out of that muslim-run criminal group.
Every fact needs to be independently verified.
Time to wake up and start acting!
It isn’t all that warm over here in the foothills either! Global warming is taking a serious hit in Northern California this week.
I am thinking of the woman, I met on a cable car two years ago. She told me she had $1700 a month studio apartment with no heat.
It’s all fine and dandy to joke about winter- but both sides of this debate will have to realize temperature isn’t the issue. Temperature is avoiding, and focusing far too much on something that takes credibilty away from the argument that maybe it’s not a good idea, or at least not morally correct for us to ‘freely’ destroy that which we rely on to survive.
heh. I wonder if they’re putting heaters in public restrooms right now?
Frostbite can ....well, you know
