We have had horrible air quality and visible ash on plants, a result of the Paradise Fire in Butte County, California. Freezing cold nights. This morning they were predicting a low of 41 degrees F, and now they are saying 33. At least this time they are changing the forecast to reflect the much lower temperatures! It is currently 38 degrees and only 10:30pm. We have had eerie silence due to no wind at times. At others we get winds from the north and/or east – the kind of winds that favor fires. It/I was sad to go from late-summer to late December over the course of two days, and to have the cold continue. The smoke caused a couple of cold days, too. Brr. #ihatewinter
