The peak gust in San Diego County this round was 66 mph at Sill Hill, which is often the county's windiest spot during a Santa Ana. Sill Hill is west of Cuyamaca Peak. Fremont Canyon in OC had a gust of 79 mph. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Clear skies, dry air & bright afternoon sunlight seemed to make the boulders bolder at Escondido’s Daley Ranch today. Only a faint breeze after a couple of days of Santa Ana winds. Despite the calmer winds, a red flag warning remains in effect until 7 p.m. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

It was upper 70s. My boulder-climbing days passed a few years ago.

Once the winds died down, the temperate dropped in many spots. Lows this a.m.: Carlsbad, 46; Chula Vista, 45; Oceanside, 36; San Diego, 46; Alpine, 40; Escondido, 43; El Cajon, 39; Ramona, 36; Valley Center, 34; Lake Cuyamaca, 38; Mount Laguna, 34. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

@eyesonSDskies Love this weather! Slept like a baby!

Winter and fall wonderland: My son is loving Denver’s biggest November snowstorm in decades.

So glad I left last Sunday instead of this one because I left from northwest Colorado Springs and went through southern Colorado to Albuquerque on my way home. Siblings in the Springs area said they had a ton of snow when they usually don't get much.

High clouds suitable for a nice sunrise we’re in the east this morning. The weather service says we can look forward to another day in the upper 70s inland, low 70s at the coast. Slightly cooler Monday, then a weak Santa Ana Tuesday & Wednesday. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Sunrise over Dixon Lake in Escondido this morning, from the incomparable Sean Peer. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

The Olivenhain Reservoir this morning, off the Elfin Forest Trail in North County. Ideal temperature, wind-free hiking conditions. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

We were expecting the snow, we were expecting bad roads and possible closures, but giant snow spiders are just too much! #ScaryWinterWeather #Snow #JustASnowflakeWith2ExtraBranches

A fairly fast-moving cold front dropped through the Bay Area this morning with most (non-orographic) sites recording between 0.25" and 0.50"

Santa Barbara November 12, 2024

11/12/24 8am UPDATE: We saw some heavy snowfall rates yesterday that contributed to 6.3" (16 cm) of new snow. There is more on the way each day for the rest of the week with potential totals of 7-14" by Saturday. Pic during a break in the clouds yesterday. #CAwx #CAwater

After 10 years tweeting for the S.D. Union-Tribune & 4+ years here as @eyesonSDskies, I'm migrating to the more aptly named (for a weather writer) Bluesky. Follow there at: @eyesonSDskies.bsky.social. Let's keep up the conversation about climate & local weather & share images.

There is no snow in the park. Just a mix of sun, clouds and fall color. It’s a great weekend to enjoy the park.

My migration to Bluesky is nearing completion. You can find me there at @eyesonSDskies.bsky.social, or do a search for Robert Krier. Below is parting image from Middle Peak near Lake Cuyamaca last Thursday. Many more sky, nature and weather photos & info to be found there.

Now's a great time for a drive to Cuyamaca to see the brilliant fall colors

For more weather observations and photos, follow me on Bluesky at @eyesonSDskies.bsky.social. Hope to see you there.
