Windy Weather Whips Chico

Spring time is usually a short duration here in Chico, but this Spring has pretty much felt like a cold winter. The temperatures have been low and recent storms have caused havoc to the area. It is always interesting that when the storms come, people are told to stay inside, except for me, who is told to go outside and photograph it. It is always important to dress warm and dry weatherproofing not only your gear, but yourself as well.
