Spring Already?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Punxsutawney Phil, the famous gopher of Gobbler’s Knob Pennyslvania, may have seen his shadow thus indicating six more weeks of winter, but here in Santa Clarita it feels like spring is already underway. At least by my house.

I spotted these very early bloomers just yesterday:

and

With all the January rain, this is going to be a very green spring. Already the hills around town are bright, lush and thick. By next month, some of the cherry trees in Old Orchard should bloom, adding a dash of pink to the green landscape.

That usually lasts until May, when Santa Clarita resumes its normal golden-brown toasted hue. And, if we’re unlucky,  by August, September, and October all that spring growth is converted into ash and smoke and the great process birth/flaming death/rebirth completes another cycle.

Forget Cycling, today I took the canoe

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

For once, the doppler jockies didn’t overestimate it…StormTracker 2010 Heads on a Stick is truly turning out to be a blockbuster storm:

Red is strongest

As usual, Weather Underground has the best animated doo-hickeys that help you track the storm’s progress.

There’s minor flooding here in Newhall. I can only imagine the Newhall creek, South Fork and Santa Clara must be raging now.

Old Man River about to flow again

Friday, January 15th, 2010

The blog I Heart quoted from today in his post about the forthcoming storms is a goldmine of science and predictions for the interesting weather ahead:

After a very prolonged period of benign and mostly dry weather across the entire state brought about by an anomalously and almost bizarrely persistent high-latitude block for much of the winter season thus far, a major shift in the hemispheric flow pattern will being a prolonged period of heavy rainfall and strong winds to the entire state of California. Though there have been a few large storms California over the last few years, the first decade of the new millennium  was generally not known for its active weather patterns in our state. The new decade appears to be trying to make up for some lost time in that regard. For the first time in at least several years, a powerful southern stream branch of the jet stream over the Pacific is expected to roar across CA for at least the next two weeks, potentially bringing a tremendous amount of precipitation and frequent strong wind events.

Wow!

I Heart wondered about what the Santa Clara river might look like as these rains dump several inches on the SCV. I recorded this video about two years ago following six days of rain. Sure this footage isn’t that special, but it’s amazing when you consider how dry the river bed is for much of the year.

The river out by the 126 was really amazing- over 100 feet wide, moving swiftly toward the ocean and carrying tons of natural and man-made debris.

Anyway, time to clean the gutters.

 A 51.5 degree difference between the high temp and low temp this month. On the 17th it was hot enough for beach clothes and just 11 days later, I'm not ashamed to admit I wore gloves on my ride into work.
