Chilly June

We've had some hot spells, and expect more in coming days but the last couple nights have been cold. We're getting moist air from the Pacific, about 175 miles away, and the Delta Breeze has been a Delta Wind instead. This means that instead of 70'F as our summer low it is 51'F instead. That's 10-20'F less than normal, though I will point out that Normal is not normal. Climate in California is erratic. There's snow falling in the high Sierra, and the weatherman predicts snow in the next couple days at Donner Pass. It will rain all day tomorrow, according to this prediction. We'll see. I suppose it is possible. And we'll have 98'F here Tuesday onwards. But right now? It is snowing on Donner Pass and raining about 20 miles up the hill. Eventually it will reach here, probably in a few hours.

The pink is corn snow (sleet), the blue is snow. Green is rain, obviously.
