A lot of sunshine in Burbank on this President’s Day, although, the temperature is warming up slooowly. The hillside area was awash in sunshine this morning, but my walk was still quite chilly. The temperature didn’t seem to bother some. I saw folks diligently cleaning up storm debris and one ambitious neighbor was out painting her house! Despite some lingering clouds– no rain in the forecast — at least […]

The rain stopped and the sun came out around noon in Burbank today. The fair weather did not last long. A heavy rain cell unloaded on the hillside area just before 1 p.m. In addition to the on-again off-again rain, some strong winds are whipping through B-town. This is only a prelude.

There’s rain in the forecast through next Tuesday. Great for the lawn and the flower garden, not so good for commuters out on the slick roads and highways. Also, cool temperatures tomorrow — a […]

We went from spring-like to sizzling summer temperatures in just a couple of days. The high in Burbank today — 88 degrees. All over B-town folks were out in shorts, sandals, tee shirts — like it was July instead of January. Tomorrow, the high is expected to be up around 80 in the Media City — but the weather watchers say […]

A really warm and sunny MLK holiday weekend for the Southland. I love it! The temperatures began to sizzle yesterday, when the high reached 81 in Burbank! In the middle of January — this is how we do winter in SoCal. By 1 p.m. this afternoon, once again, the temperature cracked the 80 degree mark in the Media City. More […]
