I heard on the radio this morning that a wind gauge at the top of Whittaker Peak, west of Castaic, recorded a 96 mph wind gust at around 3:30am today.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service says the temperature in the SCV will only top out around 43 degrees, with the wind chill knocking that down to about 27 degrees.
It’s enough to make me almost wish for the hot Santa Ana winds to come in from the high desert. If it’s got to be windy, it might as well be a warm wind rather than something from the arctic.

It was 36 degrees when I drove to the train station this morning. Awesome! I love this weather. Bring on the cold.
Agree–here’s to winter!
And 3 days later, it snows…
So much for the global warming hysteria. Great Britain is now reporting their coldest winter in perhaps 1,000 years… has anyone seen Algore?
Yeah. And Obama takes $1 million vacations. The nerve of that guy.
Also, I can’t believe the unions in NYC are so lazy.
Anything else from Drudge this morning Bill?
Obama is showing us that he is just a rich white guy in black clothing.
Yeah, NYC union workers’ lack of effort caused deaths and it wasn’t due to laziness. Try reading the article, “Union Man” Jeffrey.
Go suck an egg reynolds. See you in the new year you old grouch.
Yum yum, eggs. Now look who is grouchy, “Union Man” Jeffrey.
Happy New Year!
If you’re genuinely interested in why the temps have been colder, read this.
Yeah, I know, the lamestream media strikes again. Better to get your data from Palin’s facebook page than a climatologist.
“Global warming” is an unfortunate oversimplification, necessary because of our poor natinal science education.
It’s trapped energy, which yes, can manifest itself in warmer average temperatures. But it also creates more violent weather, including storminess and jet stream changes responsible for this “cold” weather. It also causes more hurricanes and tornadoes, which have also been increasing in intensity lately.
So if you want to keep your head in the sand, yuck it up and make believe “global warming” isn’t real, based on ignorance. But you are wrong.
Nothing stays the same Spiney, so explain to all of us what should be the perfect climate.
So anything man does to the climate is okay with you, regardless of human or economic harm?
And that somehow has anything to do with what I personally prefer?
Wow.
Hey Spinester, NEWS ALERT! Man is NOT harming the climate. So, no one knows what the perfect climate is, huh? That’s because global warming is a complete hoax. But go ahead and buy your silly little curly light bulbs and ride your bicycle everywhere; that oughta save the planet. Ha!
Life must be serene and simple on your flat, 4000 year old earth.
Life is definitely serene and simple right here in in Realityville.
I used to believe in GW, but I went running this morning and my car said it was 29 degrees! How can there be GW when I was so cold this morning? Why, those Whale Wars dudes are chasing the Japanese whalers through icebergs! Ha! No GW down there .. or wherever they are … Ha!
Ha!
HA!
Is Algore related to Igore?
They’re brothers…
Me and an old backpacking buddy are going to do a New Year’s Eve day hike up Mt. Wilson from Chantry Flat above Arcadia tomorrow. E-mail me if anyone wants to join us. Although a bit chilly the weather looks good. It’s 12 miles round trip with 3600′ of elevation gain (strenuous) but there’s lots of history there and the views should be spectacular.

Does insanity run in the family Jim?
For me my insanity is learned, not inherited. My parents never even camped. I took my wife camping once, we will now vacation staying at nothing but hotels for the rest of our lives.
To coin Bill’s phrase…HA! I was raised a camper. My folks were always camping when I was a kid and I still love it although the ground seems a bit more uncomfortable these days. My oldest daughter is a trooper when it comes to camping but my wife and the youngest are into having toilets and showers and beds handy.
I need a catchphrase.
I’m jealous of Bill Reynolds.
Ho! nope
Hi! naw
Ninjas in Awesometown! I like it …
Pfffffffft!
Catchy, but I think it’s taken ..

Your jealously is completely understandable.
Uhhh… just old are you, Scooter?
Billy, you a NAMBLA member or something? Always checking the age of folks here, seemingly with arched eyebrow and sweaty palms. Creepy.
Happy New Year!
I have a youthful outlook William**, but if you’re interested in an actual young guy, I’m not your man.
**Can I get a witness?
Your comments are very juvenile Scooter, so I’m guessing you’re about 23 years old and still iving with/off your parents. Gang Fungus is a kinky dude so you two love birds should get along quite nicely.
Happy New Year!
And Happy New Year and such … bleh
On balance, I’m not a huge fan of 2010.
And for some odd reason, I’m optimistic about 2011.
That, dear friends, is the definition of naïveté.
Happy New Year to all!
Since Bush’s tax cuts were extended, experts expect a good year for Wall Street. Get in and get aggressive…
I’m with ya ND. I lost a good friend last year and in general, I won’t be sorry to see 2010 in the rear view mirror. I plan to make the most of 2011. I already vowed to use a French Press which should improve my days considerably.
I can attest, it will.
2010 has been particularly good to me in many ways. It ended with the hike mentioned above. Only ended up being 8 miles and about 2500′ in elevation gain but it was awesome to explore Santa Anita canyon for the first time. One of the highlights was sharing a beer with an old buddy at the Adams Pack Station in Chantry Flats at the end of the hike.
God Bless everyone and Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all you whiners and complainers! LOL
Happy New Year, SFC Perez. It was a pleasure meeting you on Veteran’s Day! The whiners and complainers here are hatin’ 2010 because their “Messiah”, “The Chosen One” got SHELLACKED on November 2nd. And now we have a new Congress so 2011 should be outstanding for America (except California and New York). Can’t wait to see Obamacare suffer its own death panel. Ha!
It was nice meeting you and your wife as well. I jest with the whining aspect because it seems we all come on this site and vent a little bit, which is good to do.
The biggest part of venting, or sharing ideas, is to know we may have different views but can exist peacefully. I by no means associate with any specific political parties and have views which may be conservative on some issues, liberal on others. I just try to keep an open mind towards life since I never know what it’s exactly like to walk in someone else’s shoes.
I do respect President Obama since he is my Commander-In-Chief, as I did President Bush, but I think entirely too many expectations were placed on him and there is no way he can ever live up to the hype around that election. I honestly just wish real bipartisanship existed as opposed to photo ops and interviews that are disengenuous. I look at my home state of Illinois and the Democrat governor, Gov Quinn, has gone above and beyond in doing such and has the best track record of any politician there for taking care of Veterans.
Either way, hope all can put away their verbal swords more often in 2011 and stop making every posting about the library lol
Bill, will you make a New Year’s Resolution?
I, Bill Reynolds, will not videotape young children swimming at the pool anymore.
Yeah?
Hey Streetperson, here’s a New Year’s resolution for you:
I, Streetperson, will get my facts together to avoid committing commit libel.
Your imagination that Obama supporters use this kind of langauge only shows your claim to be on planet earth as false as your claims about “death panels.” Thanks for making this clear to all those here.
Now don’t pick on BR, Spineflower. Back in the day he was a big TV star . . .

Actually, I’m “currently” a TV star

nice!
Get a clue, Spineless…
Here’s a clue, BR… name-calling went out with the 5th grade for most people. But if its all you’ve got, then fire away.
Sad.
And you are?
