How to tell it's Winter in California

-
I had frost on my whiskers in CA, going down a ski slope at 4pm. Last run of day in heavy fog. We are reminded when its winter here by Starbucks coffee selection. Pumpkin spice? Holloween time...Christmas gets Peppermint Mocha. Dont buy either because 7-11 usually has the same DIY mixes for .99
 
Winters cam be harsh in New England, but without that, the passing of time is only recognized by seeing how old you're getting in the mirror each day.

Winters give me the time to plan the next years projects and slowly accumulate the things needed and research how to do them . My heart goes out to you "less fortunate".

Enjoy the Holidays...wherever you are.
Agree. Plus, here in verrrry South Jersey, we don't worry about earthquakes, wild fires, mudslides, droughts, etc. Also, tornadoes are non-existent, and hurricanes are essentially windy rain storms, regardless what the Weather Channel pushes.
 
This was a little while back, went looking to see how close I could get and some pictures near the snow. This is about as close as I could get and see the show, a did get a lot closer but not with the snow in view, the road got worse, damp unpaved with a few creek crossings (through the water) so I turned around.

I said that Starbucks can eat my ***.
It’s just coffee...unless you let it be more.

My opinion is that by patronizing these places , you empower them and in a way, validate their position.
I know that it may be impossible to avoid doing business with every company that has a opposing political view but I do what I can.
I don't use or support facebook. I will not buy Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I won't PAY to see movies with Robert DeNiro or any other far leftist asshole hypocrite either.

I tried to get a photo of that snow also. By the time I got to a good vantage point that bigass cloud or one similar had engulfed the snow covered peaks. Such is life. :D See .. We do have winter on the California coast :rofl:
 
All these folks whine about winter, cold and snow.

I dont wanna hear it until you can walk on to your roof, your street signs are buried and the icicles are solid pillars to the ground.

Well if you guys get bored of all that green grass and warm weather you can come up here in North Dakota. We got plenty of frost bite for everyone. lol

And you should come down here in August when its 97 degrees and 100% humidity. Get a taste of the real Fl. Not the Nov-April BS the snowbirds love.

The hills are greenin' up nicely. The cattle will enjoy it. :lol: That storm that rolled through last night only left a 1/4" here. Back in the 70s on Wednesday :lol:. Not going to help the reservoir levels much around here, they're all mighty low.

Seems like no matter where we live there is one extreme or the other. Sorry you didn't get much rain.
 
It's a medical fact that a man needs all four seasons to stay regular , otherwise all sorts of things go wrong ,their brains get mushy , they start needing Viagra , they go on social media sites trying to edify themselves through weather ? just all sorts of stuff eh .
