Well, we had frost last night here in Santa Clara Valley. It's been a
mite chilly 'round here the last couple of days. Up north, they get a
lot of rain in the winter, here it is hit or miss.
So if you go up on the coast, you should expect night time tems in the
low 40's, lots of rain, everything damp and no daytime heat to dry
things out.
I had a friend just come back from death valley. It was 70's to 80's
during the day, he didn't say what temps happened at night. Still a
nice time to see the desert down there.
