Weather Update: Frost/Freeze Advisory

Just letting everyone know that temps tonight and Monday night will drop below zero in many areas of the bay area. If you have small gardens or plants you cherish, you might want to throw some plastic sheeting like garbage bags on them and use bricks or rocks to weight down the ends of the plastic. This helps protect the plants when the temps drop this low.

Also, realize that your garden hoses might be frozen somewhat when you try to use water to defrost/de-ice your windows in the morning, lol.

The temps drop to these levels from about 3am to sunrise. So anyone who commutes to and from work or school in that time frame becareful of ice on the roadways, as it's always possible. Most likely to occur on bridges, as they do not have the ground beneath them to heat the road ways.

I hope...

that you mean Celsius. I know that at 4:30 in the morning on Sunday morning, I was scraping ice off my windshield, and it made a pretty good size snow/ice ball.

Gagan,

I keep telling you, you need to add "hot chick in bikini" to the front of your titles your weather threads. So for example, this thread would read, "Hot Chick in Bikini Gives Weather Update: Frost/Freeze Advisory"

You'd get WAY more traffic.












Seriously though, thanks. Reminded me that I had to wrap my pipes for the winter.

Yep you were right Gagan, my car died 3 times while idling due to me not doing the warm up enrichments that low on the C scale.

I'd just like to state that I hate cold weather. After visiting CHina Thailand and Vietnam in the summer, I don't understand why people like the cold.

Having to go to Malaysia 2-3x a year for a few weeks a trip, I LOVE the climate here. You can always put on more clothes. When it's hotter than hades and you're sweating your cajones off there's not much you can do, you can only take so much off without getting arrested. Also having lived in CT for 8 years I can say I don't like that extreme either.
