It is amusing to see people claim its "hot" in SoCal. It's very rarely "hot" by East Coast uncomfortable standards. If you like drastic changes in climate- that's fine. But don't try to suggest SoCal feels like an East Coast Summer- its 65-75 in the "winter" and 70-85 in the "summer with low humidity with only a few really hot days. You may not like that, but it isn't "hot".
Yeah, but those are coastal conditions\ temps. The valleys are quite a bit warmer during summer & most would considered them hot [90's]. And the deserts are another story all together.
The same thing can be said for someone from L.A...they couldn't for the life of them picture a blistering cold, snowy day on christmas.
It just doesn't happen there or in the two powerhouse regions of the SF Bay Area and L.A County
It is not only what I am accustomed to, it is what the general public is accustomed to. When one think of 'Christmas', one will no doubt think of snow and cold temps. The same can be said about Thanksgiving. No doubt, the image of fall colors and cooler temps.
If I were to make the perfect Christmas movie, it would no doubt, have to have the winter image. All the great Holiday movies in the past: A Christmas Story, Home Alone, A Miracle on 34th St, A Christmas Carrol, etc all show the setting is also as important as the plot.

WoOoOooO
That's what I think all together.
Holidays have to match the season IMO.. I spent Christmas with my Grandpa in FL once.. blech. The holiday dec up looks corny, especially when it's 80 degrees and you're wearing shorts.
I totally agree with people loving the LA weather too, it's quite normal for people to love it.. but it shouldn't be considered a bizarre mystery of why people would rather choose the North East 4 season weather instead of jumping to the assumption of "It's jealousy" .
i dont think that really substitutes for winter. I know those kids must be mad cause they dont get a snow day. Sticking with NY. love the change in seasons and the variety of weather, like the beautiful fog(not smog) that rises over the city in day light, sometimes it snows while its bright and sunny outside with a mix of mist and fog. Whats interesting lately is the freakish rain weve been getting. The thunder seems to be getting more violent. One night it was so strong alot of car alarms starting going off. Then you have those sunny days that seem normal and wind speeds pick up at a fast pace. Something different almost every time.
This is the beauty that nature has giving us, why would I want to live somewhere, where it is 75 all year long? Now that is boring.
Cool photos. The seasons do look nice, but me personally being a hater of cold weather, I guess I would prefer a place that's 75 degrees all year around. And because outer LA county has so may mountain ranges that have snow, and skiing and all that good stuff.
