1/2 cord

jrbaja - 12-4-2004 at 06:17 PM

in the last week attempting to warm this place! But, at least it doesn't leak anymore :bounce:

You think you're cold???

vgabndo - 12-4-2004 at 06:30 PM

I just pushed the minimum memory button on my indoor/outdoor thermometer and in the last five days it looks like it got down to 17. The wind chill this morning had to be in single digits!

I realize you guys are in sunny Mexico, but it is always good to get some perspective. Down there you don't expect too many tres perro noches!

I think that "sunny Mexico"

jrbaja - 12-4-2004 at 06:37 PM

But speaking of which, howz the weather over in San Felipe ? Lou ? Meme?

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Got up to 70 degrees in Loreto today, by late afternoon. Will drop to 58-60 tonight. This is getting old!!!!Found myself looking at Acupulco weather. Geezzzzz. 87 degrees. Too bad it's so darned far to drive. Wish I'd brought my thermal underwear with me last October.

Very cold here by Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside!!! 6:13pm sat.

Gypsy Jan - 12-4-2004 at 07:35 PM

Somewhere south of Rosarito centro...

At midafternoon, the thermometer read 58 F, with winds of 18-24 mph, wind chill of 46 F.

At least there were no water spouts near us today, a few years ago one came ashore and ripped off the roofs of two houses near us and sucked the furniture out and dropped it onto the driveway.

Sunny Mexico? That report about Acapulco's weather started me daydreaming about a quick *fact finding* trip. :spingrin:

San Felipe was nice after the clouds went away this morning. I am sure it got up in the low 70's but never looked, just went by feel. I did notice this morning it was in the 50's when we got up. This afternoon it clouded over and got cool again. It is now 58 out on the porch, in the shade, ok, in the dark.

bajalou - 12-4-2004 at 08:25 PM

42 last night and 54 right now 725p on my patio. When the sun was out this afternoon, figured it was almost 70 but when the clouds came by at about 2:25 or 3p it was grab the coat time. Clouds, looked like storming around Picacho del Diablo..

:biggrin:

Bruce R Leech - 12-4-2004 at 08:30 PM

I'm going to Build a fire in the fireplace tonight ,open a nice bottle of wine and have fondue, with my honey and maybe she will keep me worm all night.

PabloS - 12-4-2004 at 08:48 PM

Atta Boy Bruce, ya got the right idea. Snowing lightly here in N. Central AZ :bounce:

P-nche frio

jrbaja - 12-4-2004 at 09:21 PM

Gypsy, check out the "La Clima" post!! We saw four of them today althouth out around Los Coronados.
And, I haven't heard of "global freezing" but building a fire in Mulege and "grabbing coats" in San Felipe seems a bit extreme :lol:

Cold?

academicanarchist - 12-4-2004 at 10:15 PM

Come on. A little cold never hurt anybody. I remember when I lived in Miami in 1989. It got into the 40s, and I saw people in parkas. The news was trying to explain to people about exposure to COLD. Well, this is nothing compared to 20 or 30 below in places like upstate New York and Minneapolis in the winter.

Gypsy Jan - 12-4-2004 at 10:56 PM

Dear AA,

You forget that you are talking to *thin blood* people vs *cold blood* (think *warm blood* as opposed to *cold blood* horses, the warm being smarter and faster than the cold.

This is just another version of Southern Californians vs Canadians) :lol:

Now that I have manage to insult an entire nation, I'd like to say to JR,

Too bad the water spouts aren't hoovering up the people trying to put in the LPG/LNG) facility in the Coronados. :no:

P-nche frio in Bahia Santa Maria

BajaRob - 12-5-2004 at 05:51 AM

It is 39 degrees on our beach patio @ 4:45 AM. Coffee is almost done and propane furnace is on. Warming up nicely during the day except when passing clouds block the sun. Life is good. Rob :spingrin:

I was born and raised in California, the land of eternal sun and warmth. I have done hard time in the Twin Cities and Upstate New York during the winter. I thought it absurd to see people walking around Miami in Parkas when it was in the 40s.

Diver - 12-5-2004 at 08:08 AM

This should make you lucky north baja residents a bit more appreciative.
You could be here !

Diver - 12-5-2004 at 08:20 AM

bajalou - 12-5-2004 at 03:34 PM

It's been raining here in San Felipe for a hour or more - not very hard but steady so w'll be having a white Sierra San Pedro Matir when the clouds clear.

:biggrin:

jrbaja - 12-5-2004 at 03:38 PM

Snowing in Julian

Cyndarouh - 12-5-2004 at 03:40 PM

While it was cold in TJ, Rosarito and La Salina on our day trip yesterday. Its so much colder here at home. The snow is really coming down and so beautiful out right now. Our La Paz rescue puppy's, are having a blast playing in the snow. From La Paz to Julian what a climate change for sure.

Dddddon't Fffforget Tttthe Ennnnncino!!

jrbaja - 12-5-2004 at 03:43 PM

And Izzy was pretty cool. Thanks fer bringing her down.

Barry A. - 12-5-2004 at 04:15 PM

Pompano------What a fantastic set of stories----if there was a contest you would win. In all my travels over the years (since '54) I have only encountered snow in Baja twice, once near Catavina and it was a blizzard tho it did not stick, and once at Laguna Hansen, where we were camped out, and it did stick, at least for a few hours. Pretty wild.

Thanks for the stories. Barry

Pompano,

Mike Humfreville - 12-5-2004 at 04:48 PM

Now I understand why you spend so much time in Baja Sur. Great cold weather stories. More Porfavor.

I bet there are many folks who spend serious time in Baja that have great stories to share and we all win from reading the experiences of those few who post here. Personally, I'd love to read every word.

Thanks for your great stories.

David K - 12-5-2004 at 04:56 PM

Pompano, if JW Black still comes down there, please invite him to see the Choral Pepper photos. He might get a kick out of them, since he is in many of them (40 years ago)... Thanks! http://choralpepper.com

Anything below 40 is freezing to me, but i know what you mean, i had the pleasure of spending two weeks in watertown NY a few years back during the winter, and this is nothing compared to that, i guess its the same the other way around, yesterday i saw a bunch of american tourist?s in avenida revolucion with only T shirts!!!! walking around in this weather, i am sure they where from upstate NY.

bajalou - 12-5-2004 at 05:43 PM

In the mid 80's I flew to Mazatlan and other southern destinations and saw snow on the Sierra Juarez and San Pedro Matir two or three times - very amazed - but there it was. If I'd of had good glasses, I might have seen JR out there.

:biggrin:

JESSE - 12-5-2004 at 05:48 PM

Well, at least the cold weather didnt stop the Chargers from clinching the top of their division, good game, close, and cold, brrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce:

Mexitron - 12-5-2004 at 06:36 PM

A few years ago in JUNE we were up in the San Pedro Martir and had light snow and 18 degree weather at night. My gallon jug of anti-hangover water was frozen solid--brutal!

Pompano and others

Baja Bernie - 12-5-2004 at 07:32 PM

Great stories--I have been trying to collect stories on Baja Patty for some time and hope to do a chapter on her in one of my books. Any stories about the Quite Unusual Lady will be much appreciated. I am sure that Nomads who have not been exposed to her legends will get a huge kick out of how she carved a place for herself in Baja and in the hearts and minds of those who have known her--No, I never got the chance to meet the Lady but I have heard many stories about her.
Any help will be appreciated.
Mulege will never be the same without her.
