It’s about time. It’s finally becoming more seasonable (read: Damn Global Warming). After departing the Northeast, I was eager to enjoy the warm californian winters while the Northeast froze.. but it wasn’t until recently that the mercury has begun to fall in New York & Boston while maintaining a balmy 60 degrees here in the Silicon Valley.
Most of the New York and Boston areas enjoyed lovely weather right up until the last week of January or so, when winter has finally set in. There were points in December & January where it was even warmer back home than it was in lovely California. Some folks out here have been pretty disappointed in the crummy winter we’ve had. I mean, it’s dipped into the 30′s three times now.
So, while it’s true that it has been a little colder than normal in the Golden State, it’s definitely a nice change. Especially when I typically galavant around in just a fleece or a hooded sweatshirt. I’m also starting to develop that “Boy, I’m glad I’m not in Boston” mentality, when I look at my Google Homepage.
That being said, if you’re looking for a break in the winter weather.. you know you’ve always got a place in CA to visit.
Once we Bostonians moved past those tacky 70-degree winter days, the winter has been glorious. I, for one, can totally deal with 15 degrees and 1.5 inches of light, fluffy snow. Good times.
I have to admit, that I do miss the snow.. but that’s why I’m going to Tahoe on Tuesday.
WOOT!
Tahoe is the….wait for it….pimp capital of North America. Nice.
