Californians: fingers crossed?

[Brian SD]

So I'm sure you're all aware about the ridiculous weather (a month ago being super hot, a week ago being freezing).

I think we've found a happy medium. Can we write a letter to the weather channel and make them keep it like it is today?

76 in LA.

I want more snow in Malibu. Nothing says comedy like soccer moms on PCH not knowing how to drive in snow.

You do this just for me, don't you, Brian?

Your WAYWN posts would look like crap without little white snowflakes in the frame.

I bet the Dude is not happy about this.

seriousfuckingly.

This weather is definitely great (although I have been outside like 10 minutes today, was in meetings more or less the whole ******* day)

Im in SoCal, and the hot Xmas weather really made for an awkward feeling holiday.

Today I went to the beach!

I played my guitar and thought about the Beach Boys!

Then I had to go home and drink whisky with my girl's father.

After awhile he made me angry so I went and thought about California

When you are enjoying your California weather don't forget about The Guy!

Congratulations, drizzt. You are now the 3rd member of the "What happened to that crazy psycho ****?" club. Acidic and I would like to bestow all privileges and benefits henceforth to you. Reggs- For some reason I normally remember it being a rather warm winter day every Christmas in LA. Maybe it's just me.

Depends on your baseline, I guess. My first California Christmas was when I was 8 years old. I got a skateboard under the tree, and spent the day outside in shorts and a t-shirt trying to ride it. Pretty awesome for a kid who'd moved from rural Pennsylvania. Given that we're not going to get a traditional white Christmas in these parts, I'd just as soon it be 70 degrees and sunny rather than 50 degrees and rainy.

It's weird, actually--Christmas as a "feeling" is really pretty much defined by media and culture, not actual experience. At least for me. I was born and raised in SoCal, so in theory, a sunny, 65-degree day should feel plenty "Christmasy". But it doesn't. A snowy, chilly day in mid-Dec in NYC--despite my never having visited NYC until I was in my early 20s--feels much, much more "like Christmas" than when I visit my family in LA on Christmas day.

yeah, i was gonna say, what's going on here. we probably went a good 2-3 weeks where the temperature didn't go above 70 degrees!!!

seriously though, that stretch of freezing to near freezing temperatures in the LA basin was a little strange.

It's in the high 50's now and will be in the low 50's tonight here in South Florida...perfect weather. The best part is that the turbo in my car gets all that nice, crisp air...it's so sweet.
