New National Kobe Bryant day 😀

Also the first day of a heat wave in February..... 

Yes, another disappointment over the weekend with the lack of rain.

The only excitement was in the Montecito hills where a thunder storm caused hail for a short time.

Good Sunday morning,

The rain Saturday was another dud. Enough to get the streets wet and see the rain in the hills. Other than that...another reminder that 2020 has turned dry. 

Big winner is old man mountain with .26 inches.

Good Saturday morning,

As you wake up and roll outside you will find it dry……Yes the rain decided to wait until we woke  up…

The Cut off low is still spinning off shore and moving south of coastal waters:

Good Tuesday morning, 

Not a lot of changes to report.... off shore winds or Santa Ana winds are going to affect mountains and valleys.

Coastal areas should see little to no wind. Valleys 25 to 35 miles an hour and mountains 35 to 45.

What a great Sunday. I hope you took my advise and went to Hendry’s beach for the walk. I know a few of my friends did. I saw Adam, Jimmy and Rick on our beach walk.

Wrapping up the great day, I heard this song.

You need to play this and watch this.

For those of you that were alive in 1973, what a classic song.

Good Sunday morning, 

It is hard to complain about the lack of rain after a day like Saturday. 

What a fantastic mid February day it was. I hope everyone got outside to enjoy it. 

It was just another picture perfect day to share with all. Even Pearl was very happy to be outside and chasing the ball.

Good Saturday morning, 

I hope everyone had a Good Friday night and Valentine’s Day.

Driving down Milpas street was a Sea of red, with flowers, stuffed animals to Red dresses on display.

I think there was someone on just about every corner selling flowers on my drive home.

Happy Valentine’s Day, 

We will see sunshine and warmer weather after a cool start to the morning.

There is really not much to say about the weather pattern other than we will not be seeing any rain in the foreseeable future.
