One of the interesting things about the earth that we live on is that is has many different climates. Orange county has a dry Mediterranean climate with 328 sunny days every year and an average daytime temperature of 73 degrees.If you were to ask me, I would say that it is always summer here. In fact I have actually told people, "This is the longest summer of my life." However, it is supposedly winter now. We know this because the temperatures have "plummeted" (some forecasters actually use this word) into the 50's and 60's, and it has been raining.
The rain is a big deal, as I suppose it should be since this is the desert. The weather people on TV broadcast their "Storm Watch." In Nebraska storm watch meant there were severe thunderstorms with hail and maybe a tornado, but here it means rain.
People also get into a lot of accidents. Everyone is driving to the very limits of tire traction so any little slickness is trouble. If it were to snow 1" here I would conservatively predict 100 freeway deaths.

Good to know I'm not the only one who laughs about the hilarious weather reports around here! Blessings!
Is that an empty pool? Why are you swimming?
I'm not swimming because it is "freezing cold"
Yeah, you could probably get pneumonia if you went outside unprotected. Speaking of pneumonia, all of a sudden that sounds like such a spiritual condition.
