Those are two words to describe the weather in Chico the last 24 hours. Actually, this time yesterday it was partly sunny and fairly mild. By late afternoon, the rain came in and temps cooled off into the mid 50s. That's 30 degrees colder than where we should be this time of year! Guess what? It's not over yet, as a stubborn and powerful low pressure system slowly churns out in the northern Pacific Ocean. More showers are possible today through Friday, with temperatures stuck in the 60s. Hopefully, this storm will be done with us by the weekend, and Chicoans can enjoy a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. I am going on a camping trip to the Napa Valley this weekend to enjoy a little "getting away" time. Well, it IS the Napa Valley, so I won't be completely roughing it. But, it's still nice to get away from the routine, nevertheless. Here's the seven day forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
