24. People who live here think we have

Nov 2013

terrible, awful, cold winters. It's as if every one of them moved here from San Diego just a couple of years ago. We have winter -- right now it's 27 degrees and it has been snowing very lightly on and off all day. This is one of those very rare days when I haven't seen the sun at all. Whatever our official claim for days of sunshine, I doubt there are as many as ten days all year when you don't see the sun at least a little, and most of the time we have phenomenally clear skies.

I've lived in enough different places, that while I certainly do pay attention to the local weather, it is not the first thing I care about in a place I'm going to live in.
