I love the weather in the SFV.
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp....
Ghastly climate on the coast, everywhere between Santa Barbara and San Diego. Inland? A desert climate and damp, inextricably. Westwood - sweet Chuy, 3.30pm, the fog rolls in, the temperature drops, cold, nasty - and that's July! Ghastly. Some say that Oakland is pleasant but I assert that SF has got the rottenest weather outside of Leavenworth Kansas, with far better publicity.
So there.
come live in south Wales Atrios, half the year it rains.
I can guarantee when you cross the Severn Bridge it will start raining.
Death to weather!
Weather has a liberal bias.
But still... it's 65 in January. You can't take that away.
As a Philadelphia to Southern California transplant, I've got to say my favorite thing about the winter weather here in L.A. are those every three weeks or so bonus days where it hits 80 and the skies have just been washed by the rain.
I don't miss the week long stretches of overcast, let alone the bitter winds whipping up Broad Sreet in my Temple U days. Even the June gloom days here usually turn bright by lunch time. Then again, it's all changing. It's been a nearly rain free winter and who knows if this Summer will be another 100 degree marathon.
Auntie GWPDA--agree about UCLA. Always damp in the basin it sits in.
Up here in the foothills, dry and breezy, lots and lots of sunshine, not much fog.
though today its been a gorgeous spring day, blue skies, not too cold but not too sticky and sunny.
the sea looked beautiful.
Aw. The temperature drops at 5pm. To an icy 45 degrees. In January! Go figure.
Are all Philadelphia residents so
hyper-sensitive? Of course, I start shivering at 60 degrees, but I'm a certified coast-dwelling SoCal weenie. I thought Easterners were made of sterner stuff.

Yeah, yeah, for the forty-five minutes before the fires start.
To be fair, I'm not advocating Phoenix. I'm advocating Albuquerque. Best weather bar none. No tornadoes, no earthquakes, no undue heat, no excessive cold, lovely fall, lovely spring, delightful breezes, warm langorous days....
Catelyn--I'm a Boston native, and I'm a complete wimp about anything below 60.
The last winter in Boston, I swore I'd never be that cold again--and I never was 
in spring and fall, it can be 85° here (the hi-chihuahuan) at noon and 45° an hour after sundown...
what!
Sister lives in El Cajon, Ca. - when I visit, I envy her, but only for a few days. Then the Santa Ana's and/or monsoons start.
i am no good with cold weather, brrrrr and if its too hot its no good either.
i'm a typical Brit in that regard.
any extreme change in weather conditions and Brits go doolally.
Morro Bay, California. Every Summer day the fog rolls in over Morro Rock around ten in the morning. It stays nice and cool all day.
If you go over the hill to San Luis Obispo it's over a hundred degrees.

After nearly 27 years, I think I've just acclimated to the weather in SoCal inland of the coast. I love it.
There are no greater two places on the planet than Rittenhouse Square (Philly) and Washington Square (NYC) in the spring.
No contest.
Liars for Bush--yeah, but it's not a swamp in summer.
Oh, yeah ... that 20 degree temperature drop really sucks. Way worse than January here, where it's a high of 19 during the day and then goes down to minus 6 at night.
Not to mention that awful SoCal sameness year round--we just love the swings between 106 in the summer and -20 in the winter. You get to have two entirely different wardrobes, some of which include long underwear.
Although the weather in the San Gabriel Valley was gorgeous today, for the moment I am pretending I'm in Philadelphia so that I won't feel guilty about the glass of wine I just poured.
Swansea in the summer is nice.
Oh, and Santa Barbara! GWPDA reminded me of Santa Barbara, which can get chilly, but is so lovely.
I like cold weather.

You got that right.
There *are* a few other places in CA. Like the Sierras and up around Shasta.... Not everywhere is like LA or SF....
i'm thinking when I graduate I plan to stick around the south Wales area, perhaps more nearer to Cardiff, which is a lovely city, very cosmopolitan.

But, I'm weird. I really even kind of like Washington summers. I've reached the point where I LIKE the humidity. Plus, in Spring and Autumn, Washington, DC is great. Peak cherry blooms predicted this year for April 4th. You know where I'll be having breakfast that morning!

it gets to zero with alarming regularity in the winter...winter of '72, we had a two-week spell whenit never got UP TO freezing...
and the volcanoes...don't forget the volcanoes...three benign-looking peaks to the west of the city? they could at any moment erupt with life-quenching smoke, gas and lava...

SFSU today:
SAN FRANCISCO, March 9, 2007—Showing brazen disregard for its students’ clearly established constitutional rights, San Francisco State University (SFSU) is putting the College Republicans on trial today for hosting an anti-terrorism rally at which participants stepped on makeshift Hezbollah and Hamas flags. University officials have alleged that the students desecrated the name of Allah, which is written on both flags in Arabic script. The student group’s leadership contacted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help when they first learned of the school’s investigation.
Great moments in SFSU history:
A central figure in many of the conflicts on campus, Troy Buckner-Nkrumah, who is now a part-time lecturer in the College of Ethnic Studies, said he has been wrongly accused of anti-Semitism by administration officials.
"We will never come out against a religion, but the politics we are against," said Buckner-Nkrumah. "We believe every Zionist should have a bullet in their head."
Absolutely hilarious.
I live right on the Virginia coast, and weather that would generally move in from the west gets deflected by the gulf stream. Though sometimes ocean storms have something to say about it.

Lived the first half of mylife on the East Coast, ten years in NYC -- never again, please god! (I won't even visit the East Coast in the winter.)
This last week in Los Angeles, I've seen a humming bird or two, bees, and an oriole outside my window in a flowering bush.
It may go down to 45 at night in the winter, but never in the daytime, and not that often, either, compared to the east coast -- or San Francisco in the summer.
The valley may go up to 100 degrees and more in the summer, but that's why I moved to Santa Monica 20 years ago, near the ocean, even tho it was considered run down then.
I don't miss freezing fingers and toes and sleet and slipping on ice, and piles of wet, cold snow. Never gave a damn about winter sports -- and for those that do, they can drive an hour from here and ski, if the fools care to.

When the cold front associated with a winter low-pressure system ushers in the blast of cold air of an arctic outbreak, the local air temperature can drop precipitously in a few hours. There are many recorded instances of extreme temperature drops, but here are a few to chill your bones.
Browning, Montana: In 24 hours over January 23 to 24, 1916, the temperature dropped 100 Fahrenheit degrees (55.6 Celsius degrees) from 44 F (6.7C) above zero to minus 56 F (-48.9C).
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: A classic Blue Norther hit Oklahoma on November 11, 1911. In a few hours time, temperatures plunged from a balmy, and record, high of 83 F (28C), to a record low of 17 F (-8C). By the next morning the temperature fell to 14 F (-10C) — a drop of 69 Fahrenheit degrees (38.3 Celsius degrees) in less than 24 hours. This event is the only date left in the Oklahoma City record books on which the existing record high and record low temperatures for the date occurred on the same day.
Rapid City, South Dakota: On the morning of Jan. 10, 1911, the temperature fell 62 Fahrenheit degrees (34.4 Celsius degrees), from 49 F (9.4C) at 6 a.m. to -13 F (-25 C) at 8 a.m. From 7 AM to 7:15 AM that same day, Rapid City's temperature plunged from 55 F (12.8 C) to 8 F (-13.3 C) — a 47 Fahrenheit degrees (26 Celsius degrees) temperature drop in 15 minutes.

U.S., Iran Have 'Meet and Greet' in Iraq
So they went, shook hands and chatted briefly. And that was the sum of the direct interaction between American and Iranian delegates at a long-awaited, day-long regional summit on Iraq today in Baghdad.
Many observers had predicted that the gathering — organized by the Iraqi government to seek help stabilizing the country — would actually be more noteworthy as a meeting place for the U.S. and Iran, which have kept a chilly distance since the two severed ties after the 1979 Iranian revolution.
But in the end the two sides merely had a quick “meet and greet” and then exchanged remarks within the larger forum. U.S. and Iranian officials said there were no private conversations of any substance. The U.S. delegation had a slightly longer chat with the Syrians, U.S. officials said.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki lobbed a critique at both the U.S. and Iran in his opening comments by saying that Iraq’s territory should not be used as “a launching pad for attacks against others.” The U.S. accuses Iran of arming insurgent groups in Iraq and has detained a number of Iranian officials there."

What did you have in mind?
Tens of thousands of demonstrators have rallied in Madrid to vent their anger at what they say is the Spanish government's "surrender" to Basque separatist group Eta.
Protesters are frustrated by the government decision to grant house arrest to a serial killer from Eta after he fell dangerously ill on hunger strike.
Protesters thronged Madrid's main 12-lane avenue in one of the biggest Eta-related protests ever seen.

"Pelosi Statement on Bush Veto Threat of Military Funding Bill
Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today on President Bush's threat to veto the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Health, and Iraq Accountability Act:
"President Bush’s Iraq policies weaken our military’s readiness, dishonor our nation’s promises to our veterans, and fail to hold the Iraqi government accountable for overdue reforms.
"By threatening to veto the House's military funding bill, the President is walking away from his promise to the American people. The President has vowed to veto a bill that contains his own reform benchmarks for performance by the Iraqi government, our Defense Department’s own standards for troop readiness, and America's promise to our veterans.'

Phillip Klein of the American Spectator reports on Jimmy Carter's appearance at George Washington University yesterday. In his speech, Carter took pains to show that he is not anti-Jewish, noting for example his efforts as president to help Soviet Jewish dissidents and to set up a commission to create a Holocaust museum. Despite the fact that his book refers to Israeli policy towards Palestinians as "apartheid," Carter explained that he doesn't think Israeli policy is race-based. He thinks it's based on greed. I'm glad he cleared that up.
Carter also denied believing that Jews control the media in this country. It's just that the media contrived to farm out reviews of his book to representatives of Jewish organizations. I'm glad he cleared that up.
In the question and answer session, it apparently became even more difficult for Carter to sustain his "good will" towards Jews. Asked how he felt about the 14 members of the Carter Center advisory board who resigned in protest over his book, Carter noted, "they all happen to be Jewish Americans, I understand the tremendous pressures on them." In other words, when scholars like Kenneth Stein criticized Carter's book for "egregious errors and polemical conclusions," they weren't offering their good faith assessment, they were succumbing to pressure from their tribesmen. I'm glad he cleared that up.

Iraqi forces have captured the leader of an al-Qaeda linked group, but he is not Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq, as previously reported.
Iraqi officials said on Saturday that investigations had proven the man captured in a raid on Friday was not al-Baghdadi but was "a senior al-Qaeda leader".

Climate report: Droughts, starvation, disease
Global warming effects could mean hundreds of millions without water
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17554963/
WASHINGTON - The harmful effects of global warming on daily life are already showing up, and within a couple of decades hundreds of millions of people won’t have enough water, top scientists will say next month at a meeting in Belgium.
At the same time, tens of millions of others will be flooded out of their homes each year as the Earth reels from rising temperatures and sea levels, according to portions of a draft of an international scientific report obtained by The Associated Press.
Tropical diseases like malaria will spread. By 2050, polar bears will mostly be found in zoos, their habitats gone. Pests like fire ants will thrive
For a time, food will be plentiful because of the longer growing season in northern regions. But by 2080, hundreds of millions of people could face starvation, according to the report, which is still being revised.
Stuff you didn't know about Newty Newt! Sorry it's long but once you start reading you WILL read to the end.
From Scoobie Davis, here:
Here's a summary of Gingrich's family life: 1) Gingrich marries his high school teacher, Jackie, who was seven years his senior; 2) Jackie puts Gingrich through college and she works hard to get him elected to the House in 1978 (Gingrich won partly because his campaign claimed that his Democratic opponent would neglect her family if elected -- at that time it was common knowledge that Gingrich was straying); 3) Shortly after being elected, Gingrich separated from his wife -- announcing the separation in the hospital room where Jackie was recovering from cancer surgery (the divorce was final in 1981); Jackie Gingrich and her children had to depend on alms from her church because Gingrich didn't pay any child support; 3) Six months after the divorce, Gingrich, then 38, married Marianne Ginther, 30; 4) "In May 1999, however, Gingrich [55] called Marianne [48] at her mother's home. After wishing the 84-year-old matriarch happy birthday, he told Marianne that he wanted a divorce." This was eight months after Marianne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; 5) In 2000, Gingrich, 57, married ex-congressional aide Callista Bisek, 34, with whom he was having a relationship while married to Marianne.

For a time, food will be plentiful because of the longer growing season in northern regions.
Actually, no.
In addition to lack of infrastructure for agriculture in those regions, most northern soils are fairly poor.
my brother once gave me a birthday card which was like a Van Gough painting and these two individuals saying 'woah those drugs were good' or something like that, my mum didn't approve heh

what's not to like about hugo chavez?
most northern soils are fairly poor.
See, e.g., Iceland. Also, once all the trees are cut down for farming, the soil tends to erode quickly and the trees re-grow more slowly.
The answer is fewer humans. There's an easy way for the planet to achieve this and there's a difficult way. That's really the only choice that we have left.

I was mailing a birthday card to my papa the other day, (late, so I had to take it), and a woman from a small town brought in her birth certificate with a gold seal for proof of her citizenship so she could get a passport.
She was in her 40's and blonde.
The Post Office person said that wasn't good enough. The woman was pissed since she insisted it had always worked when she needed proof before.
Happy Birthday, catalexis

It's true. California weather sucks, especially Northern California. So, there's no reason to move here. You're much better off staying where you are. I mean it. Stay the hell away!
Seriously, though, if you want perfect weather, San Diego is about as close as you're going to get.
Don't badmouth the Californian weather! It's all we've got!
One quickly gets very spoiled by the continual balminess. But I have also heard it aptly described as being all four seasons in one day.

Death Valley in January. Absolutely beautiful, stark desert landscape, and you can enjoy it because temperatures are reasonable. Went on a 12 mile day hike from Badwater to the foothills of Telescope Peak and back, in January of 04. Temps about 70 degrees. Serene solitude.
