"Instead of our usual mild, "sweater weather" winter or even more common warm February, our early 2026 is aggressively reminding us that we are, in fact, not immune to actual seasons. Northern California is currently getting walloped by a massive, multi-phase winter storm system, and it's making our city feel less like the Golden State and more like the Arctic Circle."
"In San Francisco this means many of our historic apartments have zero insulation and weak windows that rattle every time the wind blows. 47 degrees with 70 percent humidity (which is where we are sitting right now) is a wet, heavy cold. It cuts right through your Patagonia puffer and sinks directly into your bones."
"How to Survive the San Francisco Deep Freeze You know who never suffers from seasonal dampness? The exhibits at SFMOMA, the de Young, and the Asian Art Museum. They've got huge HVAC systems designed to maintain a flawless, museum-grade baseline. Go for the art, but you're primarily there to bask in the glorious, heavily regulated 70-degree warmth for six consecutive hours."
San Francisco is experiencing a cold, damp spell with temperatures around 47°F and humidity near 70%, feeling much colder than the same temperature elsewhere. A massive, multi-phase winter storm is parked over Northern California, pulling freezing Pacific moisture that delivers heavy rain, thunderstorms, and southerly wind gusts up to 50 mph. Many historic apartments lack insulation and have weak windows that rattle in the wind, allowing wet cold to penetrate clothing. Museum galleries maintain warm, museum-grade HVAC environments and provide a refuge for people seeking consistent 70-degree warmth for extended periods. Creative communal coping is advised where heating options are limited.
