I'll tell you where your snow is. I just spent 4 hours getting my car out
from under it in Massachusetts. I must be the only person who lives in
Florida and spends his winter vacation in New England... (God, I miss
California...)

It's been in the 80's out here in southern California. It was a
little cooler today so I missed my tanning time.

Actually, I think that we could find enough sun to cover you, Alan.

You just described Hell, as far as I'm concerned.
Larry Krzewinski
It's only going to be in the mid-70s today with mostly blue skies and
sunshine. Yep, this sure is a living hell. I've got the windows open
and there's a light sea breeze blowing. Damn, I hate this lousy
weather! <g>

You've heard of SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder, where the grey Winter
days and long nights trigger depression in certain individuals? I get the
equivalent of that, starting every Spring once the thermometer (and humidity
%) rise above 70 and the sun starts baking my pate for way too long each
day, and it lasts until the first frost of Fall. So yeah, I'd miss the cold
weather and start going crazy.

Humidity? What is this word "humidity" that you speak?

Think of it as "God's own icing".

Yes, and a conveniently-located fan...you wouldn't want me to get distracted

Ah! Now I understand. Frost is what you get on top of cakes?

That's frosting. Frost is what you get on the pumpkin.

Yes...if the cake is, say, at the top of Mt. McKinley.

When water is falling out of the sky the humidity measures one hundred
percent.

Water actually falls from the sky! Wow. I can't remember that
happening here in Los Angeles.

BS Larry. A friend was just there and said never believe that it
never rains in S California. It did a lot.

Alan,
I guess that I must have been asleep when it rained the entire 4.5
inches that we received last year. We don't get a lot of rain. I've
seen times where we will go for 7 or 8 months without any rain at all.
Maybe your friend was here during a rainy period. Most of the time
the sun shines. How much rain did you get last year?

We usually don't get much rain, although I can recall the winter of
1992-1993 where we got so much rain that some of the streets coming
down the local mountains and into my town turned into rivers.
Normally we only get rain during the winter months and it isn't very
much at all. That's why everyone makes fun of Southern California
drivers. They can't drive in the rain. If it rains here the freeways
turn into miles of parking lot. In reality oil from the vehicles
permeates the pavement and the first rain in a few months will cause
that oil to rise to the surface and make the roads as slippy as ice at
times. This is the desert even though everywhere you look there is
green lawn and trees. Everyone uses sprinklers here or their lawn
dies. Four and a half inches of rain is very little rain.
Felicity
I already have a ceiling fan in every bedroom and the lounge, plus 3 desk
fans and an upright fan... Don't worry darling, I'll be the only thing that
distracts you...

The smog probably prevents you from actually seeing it fall.
