Numerous locations are in the 20s and 30s, and some mountain locations are down in single-digit temperatures.

San Francisco International Airport has fallen to 36 degrees while downtown Los Angeles is in the low 40s. Sacramento dropped below freezing before sunrise.

The cold blew in Monday with strong winds that whipped up whitecaps in coastal waters.

'Thumper' all snuggled up in bed! I wish I could be wrapped in blankets right now, too -- it's cold out there!
