Cold Temperatures Continue
The frigid temperatures continue to dominate the news with temperatures the lowest they have been in almost a decade throughout northern California. A freeze warning, that began yesterday morning remains in affect through 9am this morning as an arctic air mass lingers over California. According the National Weather Service another cold night was expected last night with 5-10 hours of below freezing temperatures- likely in the teens. This morning, we had low temperatures again ranging in the teens to low twenty’s and today’s highs will warm only a few degrees above yesterday’s mid 40’s, however the overnight low is expected to rise almost 10 degrees tonight putting Amador County in mid to high 20’s. Sub-freezing temperatures are possible again Wednesday night, though, according the National Weather Service the temperatures are not expected to be as cold as the recent near-record temperatures that we saw over the weekend. The rest of the week is looking to be in the high 30’s to low 40’s with below freezing temperatures at night.

Gas Prices Should Continue Fall
Gasoline prices in California are due to fall -- significantly -- as long as yesterday’s refinery fire in the East Bay doesn't interfere. Gas prices, after bottoming out in early November, rose about 20 cents before stabilizing last week, a trend that baffled motorists and experts alike. Any sign of a drop would be welcome news for Californians, who paid an average of $2.62 a gallon Monday for self-serve regular, up 6 cents from a month ago, according to AAA. Sacramento's average was $2.59, up a dime from last month. Locally, the gas prices continue to flacuate. Last week the Kwik Serve in Jackson dropped their price on regular unleaded to 2.49 a gallon- and then ran out of gas. Don’t expect the prices to remain the same for long though. By late February, refiners in California will start their annual change-over to summer-blend gasoline formulas. Summer gas is harder to make, causing an almost inevitable increase in prices.
