The greater Los Angeles area is predictable when it comes to weather. Summers...hotter than hell. Winters...who knows? It's like that every year.
This winter has been one big fat mess of crazy. Last week (was it last week or the week before?) was sunny, clear, warm. Everyone traipsed around in sandals, shorts and t-shirts, convinced we were finito with winter. We'd lost our minds and forgotten that it was still February. We are completely disconnected from places buried up to their eyeballs in snow and we think tornados only happen in movies. You see, California is the sole existing state in this country. If a Californian ventures across state lines we think we need a passport and immunizations.
But this week it all went bottoms up. topsy turvy. Arctic air bullied its way into LA like some rogue gang hell bent on destruction and domination. We were offended. How dare this happen? And then it rained. WTH? Cold and rain? We don't do well with a one two punch.
Which is probably why I've been in a funky mood. I'm feeling very put upon by the world in general. Everyone wants a piece of me and I'm done with that crap. I should be flattered, really, that my friends and family think so highly of me to need me so much. But I'm not flattered. I'm being a big baby about it.
I'm sure when the sun returns all will be well in my world.
Well, I live in Canada, so my sympathy only goes so far. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, Bryan. I feel for you. Really, I do. brrrr
ReplyDeleteI'd visit your lovely country but I'm not up to date on my immunizations. ;)
I was in Sweden the week where we had all the warm temperatures. I heard from friends that it was spring, since it was 85F in SF.
ReplyDeleteWhile, in Sweden they were claiming it was spring because the sun was shining while they were ice skating (I was invited to an ice skating picnic; you'd think one shouldn't light barbecues right on the ice... but no one fell through). Of course, the following week they were -20C and more blizzards.
I guess I'll have to live with this week's threat of snow in SF and not grumble too much ;)
Well, Aidan...I've just returned from SF and it did not snow, although it was colder than ****! I have to say, the universe was on my side because it was sunny and beautiful, despite the cold. Love SF!
