Winter time-lapse

The front garden is where we pile most of the snow we get. This is what it looked like on January 14, 2011:



The same garden, January 22:



The same garden today, after another 12-14" of snow fell last night:

Y'all can keep it -- I live as far north as I'll ever want to. In fact, most of the family feels that way. Elder-Son was none too happy moving a mere 170 miles straight NE from here to go to uni b/c they tend to get a bit more snow. (Of course he was aiming for Pasadena, but that didn't happen.)

Daughter is the only one of us in love with cooler weather of any sort, and like any native SoCal-ian would prefer to "go to the snow" rather than have it come to her. She claims she wants to live somewhere where the temps stay between 40 F and 90 F year 'round. I told her the only place that happened was halfway up the wet sides of Hawaiian volcanoes and "good luck with that."

I generally don't mind dealing with the snow; I consider it part of living in New England. But this is way too much of it, way too quickly.

Daughter might be okay in San Diego. Looks like temperatures range between 50-80 degrees there year-round.

It kinda depends on how close to the ocean you can live in San Diego... SoCal is micro-climate land.
