It seems like we're stuck in a pattern of cloudy, chilly, damp weather. It's been over a week now since we last saw a full day of sun. That's rather unusual for Chico, even in winter. We do need the rain, though, and more is coming. The snowpack is really building in the mountains, as well. Up to a foot of snow is possible Sunday into Monday as another Pacific storm moves in. We may see some sunny, dry weather midweek before another storm moves in towards the end of next week. Some big events happening this weekend in Chico: of course, I have to mention the musical I'm in- Paint Your Wagon- is at Chico Theater Company, playing two shows- tonight at 7:30, and tomorrow at 2pm. Snoop Dogg is performing at the Senator Theater tonight at 8:30. The magician Justin Kredible (clever, huh?) has a show at the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium on the Chico State campus tomorrow (Sunday) at 8pm. There are other events happening, as well; for more info, click on the News and Review link to the right. Also, the Chico State University students return this weekend to prepare for the spring 2010 semester (I'm one of them; except I live here), so the streets are about to get a little busier and more crowded. Oh, well. The students add a vitality and energy to Chico that's otherwise lacking. If not for the students and the university, we'd be Oroville! Here's the latest forecast for Chico from the NWS:
Today: A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 50. Southeast wind between 6 and 8 mph.

That would be gross if Chico was like Boreoville. I mean Oroville.
ReplyDeleteNo offense to those who live there but you've seen one Oroville you've seen them all.
