The City and County of Sonoma have extended their extreme cold weather warming center operations through Saturday morning Friday This afternoon, Marin County opened up an a similar center in San Rafael
Whether it was in the normally warm South Bay or the sheltered Alamo area, often moderate Bay side Martinez or the often cold North Bay Valley, Jack Frost left thick frost everywhere. The National Weather Service has issued freeze warnings, as low as 26 degrees, for the interior valleys in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties where average December lows are in the mid- to upper 30s.
Freeze warnings have also been issued from San Jose to just north of Hollister where that region's December average low is 46 degrees. The lower the temperature, the easier to succumb to cold. "The atmosphere becomes much more effective at pulling that energy and the heat out of the bodies. So, the bodies can cool a lot faster and have cold impacts much, much sooner than we would at warmer temperatures," said National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologist Brian Garcia.
This is especially true for people with no ability to pay for heat, or who sleep in their cars, or in tents, camps or under freeways. "Especially when we’re seeing multiple nights of very cold temperatures and we really haven't seen really warm overnight lows for several weeks," said Garcia. That's why freeze warnings, once issued to inform farmers of potential crop damage, have become key indicators for human services groups to get unhoused people inside, nationwide.that I have read and agree
