Do they get Santa Ana winds north of Sacramento?
no but the marine layer comes in the bay coast
& draws the winds down from the north & east
thru the valley, thru Sacramento, Vacaville, Fairfield,
down to the bay
Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Pablo, Santa Rosa etc.
about a 100-150 mile wide 50-75 miles either way
off the I-80 corridor
that area & the winds, affects a shitload of the
weather & our winds, here in NorCal
I'm a bit south & east of that area
we don't get them types of winds as much
we get more of the cooler winds from the eastern Sierras
that go down into the Yosemite & Central valley
Oakdale, Modesto, Mariposa, Bakersfield, Fresno etc.
we are almost a slack wind right now
if that answers your question
-------------------------------------------------------
I just heard it's upto
15,000 acres already
going thru the trees & grasslands 'fast'
My neighbor works for Cal-Fire
he's a flight dispatch, water or men
& plane org. guy, he was loading up today
he'll be up there for the duration probably
I hope they stay safe
thank god for the fire fighters

we need better timber (logging) & fire suppression management
them clearing out the snags, slag, underbrush
when the harvest logs
it's been ran by eco-Nazi's/activist, tree huggers,
were preservationists, not conservationists
they didn't want to touch anything
we see what that has done now,
it's out of control fuel for the fires
the ol' protestors or former 60's-70's activists (our gov.)
are now the ones in charge or in office here
(sorry not trying to turn it political, just stating the facts)
for decades no,
it needs better management/maintenance
we never had the issues
when it was managed well/better anyway
it's out of control, over grown now
my $1.25
