California might be famous for sunshine, but this weekend, it’s all about freezing temperatures! A Freeze Warning is in effect for parts of the Bay Area and Central Coast, with temperatures dropping to as low as 26°F (-3°C) overnight. That’s colder than your fridge—literally.
📍 Who’s Going to Feel It the Most?
If you live in:
✅ Interior Monterey County & Santa Lucia Range
✅ Most of San Benito County & Cholame Hills
✅ Eastern Santa Clara Hills
✅ Southern Salinas Valley (including Arroyo Seco & Lake San Antonio)
…then brace yourself for a chilly wake-up call Saturday morning, Feb 8, 2025.
⚠️ Why This Matters:
🥶 It’s COLD. If you’re heading out early, bundle up like it’s the Midwest.
🌱 Plants Are at Risk. Cover or bring in any sensitive plants before they freeze.
🐾 Pets Need Shelter. If you’re cold, they’re cold—bring them inside!
🚰 Pipes Could Freeze. Let faucets drip overnight to avoid burst pipes (no one wants that kind of drama).
🏡 Check on Your People. Elderly neighbors and those without proper housing will feel this the most—see if they need help.
🔥 What You Should Do Right Now:
✔️ Grab extra blankets and a thick jacket.
✔️ Set an alert to check on pets, pipes, and plants before bed.
✔️ If you’re an early riser, expect frosty conditions—drive carefully!
✔️ Make sure heaters and space heaters are working (but don’t leave them unattended).
This cold snap won’t last forever, but it’s coming in fast and furious. Take a few simple steps now, and you’ll be thanking yourself later.
