Apologies to the non-West Coast USA readers...
In the Bay Area, December 1990 was much worse, at
least so far (it's forecast to stay cold). February
1989 was worse, too, but short.
It looks like southern and central California are
taking the brunt of the current cold snap. I'm shocked
by the 27F on Santa Cruz Island and the 39F on the
Santa Monica Pier -- those are set amid 55F seawater!
In the SF/Monterey Bay Area National Weather Service
record report, only Monterey, Salinas and King City
(central California) made records. SF Airport reached
32F, and it looks like the city of San Francisco
barely broke 40F, as did Pt. Reyes, which is almost
surrounded by ocean.
Here is the preliminary record report from the
National Weather Service in the LA region:
