The bitter cold air that has stalled over California triggered another wave of record lows early Wednesday with San Francisco matching a 32-year-old mark and Oakland, Los Angeles and Burbank among others setting new records, according to the National Weather Service.

Elsewhere, temperatures plunged to the 30s across much of California and to near-zero in some areas, forcing growers to closely monitor crops and social workers to scramble to find shelter for the homeless.

The state has been in a deep freeze since early Monday when Los Angeles shivered at 39 degrees but it was colder elsewhere, including Los Angeles County's high desert city of Lancaster, which froze at 15. At high elevations, it was 2 at Alturas in the northeast corner of the state and 3 degrees at South Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada. |
 It's still a novelty to the media. When I discover this kind of information, my hear sinks because I know the significance. Honestly, how do you think it's possible to achieve "record" highs and lows during the summer and winter months EVERY year for the past 100 or more years that weather has been monitored? It's just another sign of global climate change beginning with wider sweeps of high & low from season to season... | |
