It’s been an unusually mild summer here in California. And don’t get me wrong, I am NOT complaining. <\/p>\n
Usually we can count on 100 degree-plus temperatures every day in the central valley for a good six months straight–June through October. But this year we’ve only had a handful of days over 100. And that’s fantstic.<\/p>\n
My beloved city of Chico has mostly seen days hovering around 90. Manteca is pretty much the same. And out in Livermore, where I work, daytime highs have been in the 80s. San Francisco has been rather cold, as usual.<\/p>\n
This week I spent a couple of days in the mountains. I was surprised to see how much snow is left on the highest peaks. I mean, here it is almost September and there is still a lot of snow up high. As we drove up Tioga Road from the eastern side, a la highway 395, there was so much snow I had to remind myself that it was late August and not early Spring.<\/p>\n
Hunting season is right around the corner, and this cool weather has got me and my hunting buddies really excited. Opening weekend in mid-September can be a bit miserable some years because it’s so hot. This year we’re hoping that the cool weather will continue, and we’ll get a nice comfortable opening weekend. And, I hope, the cool weather continues throughout the season into late October.<\/p>\n
It’s supposed to be 75 in Manteca tomorrow. That’s perfect weather, if you ask me. Now all we need is some rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
