    Winds kick up but storm milder than expected so far By John Cox Bakersfield Californian, Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021 Strong winds knocked out power around Bakersfield and snow shut down traffic on the Grapevine Wednesday but the consensus was things could have been worse — and that it was too soon to declare they won't be. A wind advisory and a winter storm warning were in effect in parts of the county Wednesday as gusts of up to 55 mph hit the Arvin area and snow fell at 3,500 feet, with more expected as low as 2,000 feet. Authorities cautioned travelers headed across mountain passes to stay informed of changing weather conditions and keep extra food, water and blankets in their vehicles. Not as much rain came down by mid-afternoon Wednesday as had been expected, which came as a relief to almond growers after last week's wintry weather knocked down substantial portions of some local orchards. Farmers said the ground was drier this time and so winds Tuesday night and Wednesday weren't generally enough to blow trees sideways. “It hasn’t been a devastation because there hasn’t been enough rain,” McKittrick-area almond grower Don Davis said. A California Highway Patrol spokesman said there had been few problems in the Bakersfield area apart from downed power lines on Ashe Road and a 53-foot tractor-trailer that swiped the side of a mountain while taking Highway 178 through the Kern River Canyon to avoid storm-related closures elsewhere. Public Information Officer Roberto Rodriguez said Highway 58 through the Tehachapi area was open Wednesday but that the Grapevine closed at about 4 a.m.

I had the honor of being asked to prepare a text to be used in the intermediate grades, and the resulting pamphlet was published in the fall of that year. Even before its publication I was aware of its inadequacy and immediately began gathering material for a better work. The present volume is the result. While it is designed to fit the needs of schools, it is hoped that it may not be found so "textbookish" as to disturb anyone who may be interested in a concise and organized story of the county's past.

  • Southern California Wind Event a WES
    Southern California Wind Event ­ A WES Case Study 9­10 February 2002 BACKGROUND: Strong offshore winds pose a significant threat to Southern Californians. These events occur on a fairly regular basis resulting in the usual downed trees and power lines, roof and sign damage, overturned 18­wheelers, extreme fire weather conditions, and, rarely, a fatality– usually due to someone coming in contact with downed power lines. Two types of high wind producing offshore wind events that have been particularly well documented are the Santa Ana Winds of Southern California and the Sundowner Winds of Santa Barbara. In 1995, Ivory Small [SOO SGX] authored NOAA Technical Memorandum NWS WR­230 titled Santa Ana Winds and the Fire Outbreak of Fall 1993. In his memo, Ivory discussed several conceptual models regarding the nature of Santa Ana winds, favored synoptic and mesoscale patterns associated with Santa Ana wind events, and forecasting techniques used by local forecasters at the time. In 1996, Gary Ryan [DAPM at LOX] authored NOAA Technical Memorandum NWS WR­240, titled Downslope Winds of Santa Barbara, California, which described the strong Sundowner Winds that occur commonly below the passes and canyons of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Gary also discussed the synoptic patterns that favored Sundowners, some forecasting rules of thumb, and gave a brief history of significant Sundowner events. Finally, in January 2000, a team of researchers at the National Weather Service Office in Oxnard [LOX], headed by Gary Ryan and Dave Bruno [Lead Forecaster], authored a second NOAA Tech Memo, NWS WR­261, titled Climate of Los Angeles, California.
