I must admit, even with all my year-round experience in Baja California Sur, I have never seen numbers like this. Weather Underground issued the
forecast for today.
Is it really that miseable down that way? If it's accurate, then folks would need a heater. My heart goes out to them.Bajahowodd - 2-2-2011 at 01:51 PM
It's 46 right now in San Felipe. This happens now and again. I've been in Cabo when it was too cold and windy to eat at the outdoor restaurants. Kinda
the same conditions that bring Santa Ana winds to So. Cal.Lauriboats - 2-2-2011 at 02:21 PM
Just returned to Mulege from Santa Rosalia, the dust was terrible. The waves in front of the house in Mulege are amazingly large. It is still a whole
lot better than most of the other states in the U.S. today24baja - 2-2-2011 at 02:27 PM

Fraser used to set the record for lows a few years agooladulce - 2-2-2011 at 05:37 PM
Today wasn't bad on the central Pacific coast of BCS, but yesterday set the wind record for the past year we've owned the current home weather
station- 38 mph.
It was out of the NW so it comes off the desert here and any cleared areas and streets in the town were white-out conditions - muy feo.
If you don't have a home wind gauge, FYI a patio resin chair will take flight at 35mph.Hook - 2-2-2011 at 05:42 PM
I rode out Julio and Jimena over here on the Sonoran coast and these conditions are MORE unpleasant than that. We have a mix of 50 degree air, 30 kt
winds carrying the finest dust you can imagine. It's horrible!!!
Chicago has had whiteouts in the last 24 hours; so have we, for all practical purposes.Paulclark - 2-2-2011 at 05:54 PM
or go weatherunderground/San Jose del Cabo and scroll down and you will see a list of private weather stations in the area and their current weather
readings.
The highest gust today was 34 mph, temperature high 72.

Sorry guys. Forecast for mañana here in NorCal is 70º. Think I'll stay home for a while. Pescador - 2-2-2011 at 08:24 PM
We had ten foot waves breaking on the beach in San Bruno which is south of Santa Rosalia about 15 miles. Top wind was over 45 mph. Some people do
not find Bouyweather to be very accurate according to their assesment but this storm was dead on within 1 hour of prediction and has so far exactly
matched the predictions. Needless to say I did not go fishing this morning.shari - 2-2-2011 at 09:35 PM
bouyweather was right on here too...it is now blowing about 28-30 knots NNE...nasty as all get out...good thing the coop beached all the pangas this
afternoon.
but that didnt stop us from enjoying a wonderful wine wednesday thanks to Redmesa!!!!!

Define wonderful wine, please.
Our definition has changed since we move down here. We accept much less as we cant get much for the same price point/flavor quotient. Usually its an
overpriced wine from Baja, Chile or Argentina.
But one, reasonably priced winery, has remained true to our NOB, California tastes. Adobe Emiliana; an organic, second label of a respectable winery
in Chile, is the one. We had their Merlot (like Miles, I generally have an aversion to Merlots), but it has more depth than a 30 dollar Merlot in the
States. Not that I order Merlots unless I have to. But tonight, I had to. At as fancy a restaurant as there is in San Carlos (they have Chateaubriand
AND curried chicken flambéed at your table), the wine was only 140 pesos. It can be had for around 100 pesos at retailers. Try the Chard, the Merlot,
the Cab, the Carmenere, and their blends. I havent tried all their wines but I am beginning to realize I dont need to. Just go for them. These are
organic wines that are all about environmental sustainability. This is not important to many; at certain price points, it becomes unimportant to me.
But not this winery. All their wines kick ar$e!!!!
A wine post within a weather post.............damn, that's a good wine!!!!!!
