This is not the sort of forecast we have in these parts very often:
TONIGHT… SHOWERS LIKELY… POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SNOW NEAR THE FOOTHILLS.
Nor this:
WEDNESDAY… SHOWERS… POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SNOW NEAR THE FOOTHILLS… AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE SMALL HAIL. HIGHS 51 TO 56 IN THE WESTERN VALLEYS TO 43 TO 48 NEAR THE FOOTHILLS.
Some places a little east of Ladera Frutal may have highs in the low 40s (on the quaint Fahrenheit scale)?
Evidently, chill-accumulation season is underway. Ladera Frutal no longer has any tender subtropical fruits trees to worry about, their having been wiped out in The Freeze of 2007. The under-ripe bananas on some of our stalks may stay that way, however.

Well, no snow in the foothills that I know of, but we did have a high of 49 on Wednesday. That low a daytime high is very rare for us. And Valley Center, just east, had a high of 43.
Some frost this morning, but no freeze.
Almost 3 inches of rain this week. More expected next week. That’s great for the irrigation bill!
