It has been wet and windy today in Chico, while some foothills locations (including my house, el. 1500 feet) have seen a mix of rain and snow. Temps have been stuck in the lower 40s in Chico, while it's currently 33 degrees at my house. Winds have been gusty, as well, with speeds over 30 mph at times today. The weather should calm down some tomorrow and into the weekend, but it will remain colder than normal for the next several days. It's almost hard to believe that just four days ago it was sunny and in the 70s!
