Cooling off

The high tomorrow is forecast at 14 degrees. California is having a major cold-snap -- this is before the Orange harvest so look for a jump in Orange prices in the next month or so. Europe is going to have yet another cold cold winter. From Accuweather:
Freeze Coming to California Orange Groves
The stormy, snowy weather pattern underway in the West will culminate with a mid- to late-week freeze over California's San Joaquin Valley, home to many orange groves.

Temperatures over the lower part of the valley, where most of the groves are located, will dip into the middle 20s at the core of the cold air.

The cold will challenge record low temperatures in the region which are generally in the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. Lows this time of the year tend to average near 40 degrees.
From P Gosselin's No Tricks Zone:
Extreme Cold To Grip Europe. Forecast -38�C in Switzerland�Will Be Even Colder Later�Pattern Not Seen in 70 Years.
Computers have been forecasting a wicked cold winter for Europe this year. Looks like it�s shaping up to be just that.

Later this week a blast of Arctic air is set to sweep across northern and central Europe, as a huge high pressure zone off in the Atlantic combined with low pressure system Gundula to east over the Baltic pump frigid air over the continent.

One meteorologist says such a weather pattern was last seen 70 years ago.
Got about five cords of wood laid in last summer so we should be set -- it only gets really brutal for a month or two; then just cold, dreary and wet. Posted by DaveH at November 22, 2010 8:17 PM
