But you also get those heat spells too. I remember one year I was in Dallas for a week of training. It was the first week of December....and the temps were in the low 90's with humidity hovering around 90 percent.I love winters here...as soon as it goes below 60, they drag out winter parkas and gloves like its cold or something....lol
That's horrible about the crash! We get fog here occasionally, but it burns off pretty quickly.After I had graduated from college with my first degree, I lived in Fresno for 4 years. During the summer it regularly went above 100 (I remember a few times it hit 115), but it was a dry heat. It wouldn't hit the daytime highs until around 3 pm, so you just needed to take care of your errands in the mornings and then stay indoors in the air conditioning. And once the sun went down it would cool down. When the highs are in the low 100's, the overnight lows would be around in the 70's. The worst part was the fog in the winter. Sometime the fog would get so thick that you literally couldn't see past the front of your car. And the fog would be so thick that it wouldn't burn off during the day so the fog could stick around for days at a time. I had a professor who lost his son because his son was driving in his car and a tanker truck couldn't see his car because of the fog and crashed into him.
The problem is that Fresno is surrounded by the Sierras to the east and north, and other mountains to the west and south, so basically the entire central valley of California is like a giant bowl, so once the fog settles there is nowhere for it to go. At times the fog gets so thick that planes cannot land in the airport. So incoming flights gets diverted as far away as Monterey or San Francisco and then the passengers get put on buses for the rest of the trip.That's horrible about the crash!

The fog in Redondo was scary! It looked like the whole place was covered in smoke. It would roll in like it does in pirate movies lolThe problem is that Fresno is surrounded by the Sierras to the east and north, and other mountains to the west and south, so basically the entire central valley of California is like a giant bowl, so once the fog settles there is nowhere for it to go.

Home...survived...my dear sweet SIL has decided she hates people, so that was a new twist. Kids were cute, lunch was short before they had to get back n the road to beat rush hour ( which starts about 3:45) here, they'll be slowed down, and we did our errands and are home in the cool dark again!
D'awww.Even though fewer people means better odds.... It's much more fun with more peeps.... Specially when they are all part of my ecf family
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.
