As the first winter storm of the season moved out of the area during the evening of November 8, a cold airmass of Arctic origin pushed into central California behind the departing storm. As skies cleared out and winds diminished overnight, temperatures plunged below the freezing mark for 3 to 5 hours across much of the San Joaquin Valley where many stations reported minimum temperatures between 29 and 32 degrees on the morning of November 9 resulting in the first freeze of the season. In addition, temperatures dropped to 24 to 28 degrees across much of the Kern County Deserts which experienced its first hard freeze of the season.
