The problem is, if the news stops reporting from Latvia, how will we
know? :)

Not so cold actually, about O to +10 C, a bit colder at night perhaps
- 2 C or something like that. Latvia is just over the Baltic Sea and
a bit south from where I live.
So brave human beings kan go bareback, we Swedish fans can try if you
are to soft!

Here people have put away their shorts for the season. I suppose
we could go bareback, but being weather wuses most of us are wearing
long sleves and even a coat layer. Daytime highs in the 60s. Nights
down to the low 50s or so. Morning fog along the coast. Tule fog
isn't due until the ground gets wet, probably at least a month off.

Sixties? Sorry to hear it's only sixties in the backward part of
California. Today, south of the Tehachapi Mountains, it'll be 72 F;
tomorrow, 79 F; Sunday, 81 F; Monday, 80 F; Tuesday, 79 F; and
Wednesday, it'll start going way back down to 75 F.
It's really tough making it through life with only one season. Think
I'll peddle down the bike path to the beach this afternoon. See if
bikinis are still being worn. ;P~~~~~~~

It started snowing here early in the morning. Wet fluffy stuff falling
all over now. I got out the heater and turned it on for the first
time this year.
Yesterday I was out wearing just a sweatshirt and gym pants. Today
feels like I'll need something thicker.

Heh, quit advertising, David. Heinlein covered the disapointment of the
reality of Southern Cali weather. I have seen snow in LA, and if you think
LA drivers are fun in the rain, add some ice. Usually when you get rain and
50 degree temps you guys wear more than I do to go snowmobiling. Now, when
I first moved here and I only owned one pair of long pants I thought that
ice belonged in drinks and on Christmas cards.

I didn't think you were old enough, Jim. A "trace" (in case you don't
get such miniscule amounts in upper Michigan or Minnesota) is like a
sprinkling of powered sugar. The last time during my lifetime there was
a _trace_ of snow "in LA" was January 22, 1962, forty-seven years ago,
when it was reported at the civic center, at LAX, and "in Long Beach." I
missed seeing it, being stationed at USMAPS, Ft. Belvoir, VA at the
time. Otherwise, earlier, during the 1950s, and on two occasions in 1947
and 1949, a few traces and barely measurable amounts (0.2 or 0.3 inches)
have occurred; but NOT once has snow fallen in detectable amounts since
1962. It hasn't been cold enough during a period of precipitation in LA
since.
See, http://www.laalmanac.com/weather/we17.htm
I also remember one occasion about 1955 on an Easter Sunday when, during
a thunder storm it hailed so much there was about a foot piled up like
slush on the sidewalks and edges of the streets when we came out about 1
pm from a solemn high mass at Blessed Sacrament in Hollywood. Brilliant
sunshine and hail in the gutters! They were betting the world was ending
inside during the thunder and lightning.

They aren't that bad on rain. About as stupid as most anyone else. And
they're smarter about the first seasonable rain brought oil slick on
asphalt freeways and roads than people from outside the area. The only
way you'll get an LA driver on snow or ice is send her up to Big Bear or
north on the ridge route past Castaic or into the Tehachapis (none of
which are "in LA" with only one, Castaic, barely inside LA County, but
forty miles north of the civic center); and, I'll agree, most of them
are about as bad on ice as the drivers in Washington, D.C. (where snow
is quite a bit more common). Ever see the 17th Street bridge in D.C.
when the snow season first hits the ground? I have--that same winter at
Belvoir. Not very pretty.

All true. Doesn't it? You can also use it to prevent sprains from
swelling.

No snow since 1962? Further proof that global warming exists!

I remember some snow falls in DC that were something like a foot deep.
Not many though. More normal is rain that freezes when it hits the
ground. People that can drive well on that are unusual. Lots of wreaks
on the traffic report every time that happens.
So this morning Obama kept a national audience waiting 40 minutes at Ft.
Hood in Texas. I'm wishing they had waited until the ceremony started to
start the nationally televised coverage.
