I don't get the joke. I thought climate change would result in California becoming drier, with weather more resembling Baja California.

Highest total in the mountains right outside of LA? Good news indeed.

Funny how most places on the East Coast only get thunderstorms in the summer but in LA 0% chance of summer thunderstorm but winter thunderstorms can happen. Love Med climates!

Huh?? East coast gets thunderstorms in winter a lot. What made you say that? Especially when you have a sharp front coming in (Cold Clashing With Warm Air). Not convective but Thunderstorms happen often. Even with temps in the 40s and 50s.

I don't seem to remember a lot of thunderstorms in Pittsburgh in the winter when I lived there. Kansas yes but the weather there is highly variable.

Pittsburgh did get a lot of thunderstorms from April to like October though. I did witness thundersnow once, was quite weird.

Louisiana took the cake for thunderstorms though. Thunderstorms year round. Nothing like a giant thunderstorm with 6" of rain on a Christmas night.

Not to stay off topic further but True...A lot, No. But you said "only get them in summer". Thats what's not true,

2 last month. 9 in December 2013. Definitely happens in winter too.
