Lived there for a good portion of my life; places like Baker, Kelso, Ludlow Barstow, Vidal Junction, then back to places like Palmdale, Littlerock and Pearblossom.
I know correctly that it could get damn cold in the winter time and the farther away from the hills you got the colder it got.
I remember temps as low as 18 degrees and warming up to a balmy 45 in the afternoon.
Now I live in Nor. Cal. My average morning temp this time of year is 12 to 18 degrees, 24 or 25 by noon or one pm.
Coldest I have ever seen it on the front porch has been minus 14 degrees, that's 14 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, which would make it 46 degrees below where water freezes.
This time of year and for the next 3 months if I get a 40 degree day I tell everybody that it is “JUST POSITIVELY TROPICAL”.
Drives my wife crazy, she is a So. Cal kind of girl.
