Dear California

Dear California,

Is it necessary to have an entire year of rain in 2 days? Is it? Could you maybe space it out a little, just a little?

We'd all appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

The weather here? Well it's hard to beat. We have fabulous weather here. In fact we don't really have weather. It's pretty much, sunny and warm and hot and sunny and warm and hot some more. Sometimes the weather gal will say funny things like cloudy with a chance of rain later in the day. We forget all about this silly drivel as we watch the overcast burn off and bask in another beautiful day.

However, on those occasions when it is not sunny and beautiful, the weather totally messes with everyone's mind. Californians it seems, do not know what to do when water falls from the sky. The freeways are a hot mess with cars facing all directions, it's water people, water, not ice, not snow, just a little water. OK it's a lot of water. A lot. A lot. It's not just raining here folks, it's more like the Heavens have opened. It's biblical proportions people. Biblical I say. It's raining so hard that my wipers can't keep up. At least they are in semi new condition and not burned out from the Hades like summers. The local mountains? Snow day kiddies! First real snow of the season and they can't keep the roads open, or the schools. The Grapevine? Route 66? Mostly closed.

The weather mens and womens are all abuzz. Talking quickly and excitedly of the storm we are smack dab in the middle of. You'd think a serial killer was on the loose they way they talk of this storm.

And it's cold. Really cold. Cold cold cold.

I own enough cold clothes for exactly 3 days. Maybe 4.

Where did I put my wool coat?
