So, when is this pattern going to break and milder air return. Spring break is in a little over a week...

Spring break? In February? That said, there's not been the slightest sign of a pattern break (as opposed to 1-3 day interludes) as far as the forecast models can foresee, which is through the first week of March. Personally, I believe mid to late March is the earliest a warm pattern might take hold, and probably not until April or later.

There was no regular 161651z obs that is routine....
Next obs was 161751z and wind was calm and temp/dew pt was M01/M20 then up to 00 at the next hour and calm wind still


So likely a fan and/or something else went on.

Concord ob is now offline, this morning as of a couple hours ago.

GFS shows a weakening of the cold pattern in early March. Still below average but not as extreme but less of a strong arctic air flow, more of a west-east flow. Another rainstorm is forecast for California that week.
