And THAT is what makes this so much fun, Errol! 😁🌧️📡 The timing was excellent, and now we have real observations to help understand the difference in rainfall totals. I love your approach to learning from every forecast! Thank you for including our little mountain station in the experiment. Looking forward to round two! 🙌🌲🩷

🎃🌧️ CaLandBird Weather | Our First Halloween Weather Experiment! 📡🌲 Forecasts tell us what could happen. Observations tell us what did happen. Over the past several days, we've been comparing Halloween weather forecasts with @errolkerr1 of Kerr Weather, who kindly put together detailed predictions for our Frazier Mountain weather station at 5,030 feet. And now we have our first results! 😁 🌧️ October 31: 0.07 inches of rain 🌧️ November 1: 0.03 inches through approximately 9:30 AM 📊 Combined observed rainfall: 0.10 inches Kerr Weather's October 30 forecast projected approximately 0.40 inches for the weekend. The forecast successfully anticipated light rain Halloween evening and overnight, although our recorded rainfall was lighter than predicted at the time of this comparison. And that's what makes weather observation so fascinating! We're sharing our comparison graphic along with both days of actual Ecowitt rainfall history so everyone can see the observations for themselves. A big thank-you to @errolkerr1 for making this such a fun learning experience! We look forward to many more comparisons as winter approaches. There is always something to discover, if we never stop looking. 🩷 #CaLandBird #FrazierPark #FrazierMountain #WeatherStation #Ecowitt #WeatherObservations #MountainWeather #California

📡 ONE MONTH ON THE MOUNTAIN: OUR WEATHER STATION’S FIRST FIELD REPORT 🏔️🌦️ One month ago, this project began with a hole in the ground, a pressure-treated 4×4, a galvanized pole and a plan to provide real weather observations from approximately 5,030 feet on Frazier Mountain. Today, our @ecowittweather station is fully operational—and what a first month it has been. We recorded wind gusts reaching 33.5 mph, humidity falling as low as 15%, passing rain, sharp temperature changes and the rapidly shifting conditions that make mountain weather so different from readings taken at lower elevations. We also learned what happens behind the scenes when technology meets mountain life. During one storm, our home internet went down, so we moved the console and computer into the hallway and connected everything to a phone hotspot to keep sharing observations. That experience taught us something important: the station needed its own independent weather archive. This week, we installed a 32 GB SD card in the console. It now saves our readings locally every five minutes, so even when the internet goes out, the station keeps recording and our weather history remains safely with us. 💾✅ In its first month, this station has already helped us document conditions at our elevation, compare forecasts with what actually happened and share timely information with our mountain community. Thank you to everyone who followed along, shared our reports, encouraged the project and helped welcome this new source of local observations. Next on the wish list: lightning detection, outdoor air-quality monitoring and better snow measurement. We’re only getting started. 😊 Forecasts tell us what could happen. Observations tell us what did happen. There is always something to discover, if we never stop looking. #CaLandBird #FrazierMountain #FrazierPark #MountainWeather #WeatherStation #CitizenScience #LocalWeather #Ecowitt #CLBLP #CAwx

🎃🌲 CaLandBird Daily Briefing | Saturday, October 31, 2026 Frazier Mountain • Grapevine • Los Padres National Forest Good morning and Happy Halloween from Frazier Mountain! 💙🌲 Our biggest story today is the approaching Pacific storm. Rain is still expected this evening and overnight, although some forecast rainfall totals have come down. High-wind advisories remain important along Interstate 5, existing Los Padres National Forest restrictions continue, and we have another remarkable California condor conservation milestone to celebrate. 🌧️ 1. Halloween Storm: Rain Still Expected Tonight @NWSHanford and @NWSLosAngeles continue to forecast rain across the region this weekend. The most likely period for steadier precipitation remains Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Some newer forecast guidance has reduced expected rainfall totals, but wet weather is still expected and timing can continue to shift. For Frazier Mountain, tonight will be a good time to watch rainfall totals, humidity, wind direction, and peak gusts as the system moves through. NWS Hanford: weather.gov/hnx/ NWS Los Angeles: weather.gov/lox/ 🚗 2. Grapevine / I-5: High-Wind Advisories Continue @CaltransHQ continues to report high-wind advisories along portions of Interstate 5 through the Grapevine. Travel is not recommended for campers, trailers, or permit loads in advisory areas. At the time of the latest highway report, no full closure of I-5 through the Grapevine was listed. Rain arriving later today could add slick pavement and reduced visibility to the travel picture. Check live traffic, incidents, closures, and cameras before heading out: Caltrans QuickMap: quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ I-5 highway conditions: roads.dot.ca.gov/?roadnumber… 🔥 3. Los Padres National Forest: Fire Danger Remains Very High The U.S. Forest Service continues to list Very High fire danger across Los Padres National Forest. Existing fire-use restrictions remain in effect, including limits on campfires outside designated areas. Weekend rainfall does not automatically cancel those restrictions. Current Los Padres alerts and fire-use information: fs.usda.gov/r05/lospadres/al… 🌲 4. Mt. Pinos Ranger District: Dry Canyon Closure Remains Active The existing Dry Canyon closure within the Mt. Pinos Ranger District remains in effect. The closure includes designated areas around: • Dome Springs Road (8N40) • Trails 22W10, 22W11, and 22W13 • Dome Springs Campground This is a continuing restriction, not a new closure announced today. Check current Forest Service alerts and closure information before planning backcountry travel: fs.usda.gov/r05/lospadres/al… 🦅 5. California Condors: Another Major Conservation Milestone San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance recently announced that its 200th California condor raised at the Safari Park has been released into native habitat. The milestone bird was part of a group released into Yurok Country in Northern California through the Northern California Condor Restoration Program. California condors once declined to only a few dozen surviving birds. Today, more than 600 survive worldwide, with many once again flying free in native habitat. That is an extraordinary conservation achievement — and another reminder of what decades of persistence can accomplish. 🦅💙 San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance: sandiegozoowildlifealliance.… California Condor Recovery information: fws.gov/program/california-c… 📡 Today’s CaLandBird Takeaway Halloween night’s approaching rain remains the main story. For Frazier Mountain, we’ll be watching rainfall timing and totals, wind direction, peak gusts, humidity, temperatures, and any changing conditions along the Grapevine. Existing Los Padres restrictions remain in place, even with rain on the way. And California condor recovery has reached another remarkable milestone — a pretty wonderful conservation story to close out October. 🦅🌲 Forecasts tell us what could happen. Observations tell us what did happen. 🌲 There is always something to discover, if we never stop looking. #CaLandBird #CLBLP #FrazierMountain #FrazierPark #Grapevine #Gorman #Lebec #MountPinos #LosPadresNF #CAwx #California #Halloween #RoadConditions #MountainWeather #CaliforniaCondor #WildlifeConservation

🥝🍞 An Unconventional Breakfast from CaLandBird Kitchen! 🩷 Who says breakfast has to be eggs and bacon? 😂 This morning’s breakfast was a good old-fashioned grilled cheese sandwich made with our homemade sourdough bread from Ranger, my sourdough starter, and a side of frozen kiwi slices! And can we talk about those kiwis for a minute? 🥝❄️ I’ve become absolutely addicted to them! I slice them with the skin on, freeze them, and enjoy one kiwi every morning. Here’s my little secret: I let the slices thaw just enough that I can snap one in half, but they’re still icy and slightly frozen. They’re like little natural fruit popsicles! And they’re surprisingly nutritious! 🥝 Packed with vitamin C 🥝 A good source of vitamin K 🥝 Contain vitamin E, folate, and potassium 🥝 Provide fiber, including extra fiber from eating the skin 🥝 Contain natural enzymes that help with protein digestion I originally started eating them for the fiber, but now I look forward to them every morning! And that big Costco box doesn’t go to waste. Sometimes the simplest things turn out to be the best discoveries. And as for grilled cheese for breakfast? Around here, we make our own rules! 😂🩷 Have you ever tried frozen kiwi? Because if you haven’t, you might be missing out! #CaLandBirdKitchen #HomemadeSourdough #FrozenKiwi #BreakfastIdeas #KitchenAdventures #CaLandBird

🌲 CaLandBird Daily Briefing | Friday, October 30, 2026 Frazier Mountain • Grapevine • Los Padres National Forest Good morning from Frazier Mountain! 💙🌲 Halloween weekend’s approaching storm is our main story today. Rain chances have increased, the higher elevations around Mount Pinos could see some snow, and wind remains something to watch along Interstate 5. Here are today’s five updates. 🌧️ 1. Frazier Park: Halloween Weekend Rain Looking More Likely @NWSHanford has increased confidence in weekend rainfall for the Frazier Mountain communities. The current forecast calls for rain chances increasing Saturday and becoming highest Saturday night into Sunday morning. Saturday night currently carries the strongest rain signal, with cooler temperatures continuing into Sunday. For Halloween plans, the important thing to remember is that exact timing and rainfall totals can still shift as the system approaches. NWS Hanford: weather.gov/hnx/ ❄️ 2. Mount Pinos: Rain and Snow Possible at Higher Elevations @NWSLosAngeles is forecasting a mix of rain and snow around the higher elevations of Mount Pinos and surrounding mountain areas during portions of the weekend. At Frazier Park’s elevation near 5,000 feet, rain remains the more likely outcome. Higher elevations — including areas around Nordic Base — have a better chance of seeing winterlike conditions if temperatures and snow levels line up. This is a forecast, not an observation of snow already occurring. NWS Los Angeles: weather.gov/lox/ 🚗 3. Grapevine / I-5: Wind Advisories Continue @CaltransHQ continues to report high-wind advisories along portions of Interstate 5 through the Grapevine. Travel is not recommended for campers, trailers, or permit loads in advisory areas. At the time of the latest highway report, no full closure of I-5 through the Grapevine was listed. Rain developing over the weekend could add slick pavement and reduced visibility to the travel picture. Check live traffic, incidents, closures, and cameras before heading out: Caltrans QuickMap: quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ I-5 highway conditions: roads.dot.ca.gov/?roadnumber… 🔥🌲 4. Los Padres National Forest: Restrictions & Dry Canyon Closure Continue Existing fire-use restrictions remain in effect across Los Padres National Forest. The Dry Canyon closure within the Mt. Pinos Ranger District also remains listed, including designated areas around Dome Springs Road, several trails, and Dome Springs Campground. Weekend rainfall does not automatically cancel Forest Service restrictions or reopen closed recreation areas. Check current Los Padres alerts and closure information before heading out: fs.usda.gov/r05/lospadres/al… 🦅 5. Five Young California Condors Begin Their First Week in the Wild The five young California condors released last Saturday at the San Simeon Condor Sanctuary are now beginning their first full week in the wild. The newest members of the Central California flock are: Obsidian (1333) Serpentine (1339) Marble (1345) Pumice (1332) Chert (1331) All five successfully left the release enclosure, and conservation teams continue monitoring them as they adapt to life in the wild. California condors once declined to just 27 surviving birds, making every successful release another meaningful step in the species’ recovery. 🦅💙 Ventana Wildlife Society: ventanaws.org/ Condor release information and recording: ventanaws.org/condor-release… San Simeon Condor Cam: ventanaws.org/sansimeonsanct… 📡 Today’s CaLandBird Takeaway Halloween weekend’s approaching storm is the main thing to watch. For Frazier Mountain, we’ll be following rainfall timing and totals, wind direction, peak gusts, temperatures, and any developing travel impacts along the Grapevine. Higher elevations around Mount Pinos may have an opportunity to see some snow while lower elevations remain primarily rain. Existing Los Padres restrictions continue, and five young California condors are beginning their first week of freedom in the wild. Forecasts tell us what could happen. Observations tell us what did happen. 🌲 There is always something to discover, if we never stop looking. #CaLandBird #CLBLP #FrazierMountain #FrazierPark #Grapevine #Gorman #Lebec #MountPinos #LosPadresNF #CAwx #California #RoadConditions #MountainWeather #Rain #Snow #CaliforniaCondor #WildlifeConservation
