I'm sure that's what a lot of people in Chico want to hear. It has been frosty cold the past several mornings, with lows generally in the 20s. High temps haven't been that warm, either- mainly stuck in the 40s. A lot of people want the temps to warm up, and they will. There is also rain (supposedly) on the way for tonight, although current radar does not look all that impressive. After tonight, a series of weak weather systems will quickly move through Northern California, bringing slight chances of rain or showers to the valley. Back to what I alluded to earlier- the warmer temps. By this weekend highs will be back into the mid to upper 50s (where we should be this time of year), while early next week we're talking highs in the 60s! It won't be long until the almond, pear, and plum trees will be flowering. That's how it is here in Chico- we have four seasons, but winter is the shortest season. It typically last about six to eight weeks from early December until late January. Spring begins in earnest by the first week of February, and can last well into April. By early to mid-May we begin to feel the heat of summer creeping in, and by June, the heat is on. Fall typically comes rolling in around the third week of October and lasts until late November, when the cycle starts all over again. So look for the transition of the seasons- in this case winter to spring- within a couple of weeks. For now, here's the latest forecast for Chico from the National Weather Service:
