Lanzarote


19C, a few scattered clouds and a cool NE wind. This is chilly for here, the dogs are all wearing coats. Seriously!

Freezes generally all over the inland areas of so. California (inland of the coastal range) last night, more forecast for the upcoming week.

At least four 18 wheeler semi truck and trailer rigs blown off the freeways in San Bernardino, CA, in 130kph/80mph winds.

Freezing rain here, in the Okanagan

Which led to an early morning 15 vehicle pile-up on the Crowsnest highway a few km from me.

Fortunately no fatalities, but the road closure seriously messed up my schedule

Dam sanding trucks missed the beat on this one -- they should have been out all night, and clearly were not.

ing chilly, damp and windy in Sussex today.

Next door's fence is being blown apart tonight (not mine for a change )
