We don't have dreary weather.. it's Seasonally Depressed. ^_^
I'd bet big money the guy who came up with the term 'mother nature' must've lived here though.
I mean remember about 10years ago; no might be more. I was still in high school, and in a single day.. middle of Summer the morning was boiling hot, it snowed for an hour, then was hot again before pissing it down like a monsoon.
Typically had Sports last 2 periods of the day.. so was totally soaked, and muddy. Still is one of the more bizarre days I recall.
There are a few others, like just a matter of a month or so ago when it was a nice 25c outside and started hailing sodding blocks of ice as big as ice-cubes. You get that whole damp humidity that you'd get in a raind forest or something. Some day the weather here is just surreal.
Most of the time though it just kinda flicks between Sunny, Windy or Raining. Los Angelos was a horrible place to live, well when your taking the move from British winter to LA winter.
30c nights are not exactly what you'd expect in the winter months.
Didn't often rain or snow... don't remember seeing snow once while I was there actually, but when it did rain; it did it proper style.
Quakes are definately interesting. Remember 2 during my time there, they were very minor and I didn't actually realise right away what they were. I mean it's not something you understand what's going on when it's happening if you've never experience or really ever heard of them before. It feels alot like; I dunno, like when your on an Icey path in your normal shoes and everything seems like it's kinda slippery but you have your balance.
It is something though... that when it's raining you get sick of it happening so often; but when it's not you feel kinda like the weather is too hot because your used to it being quite damp and chilly. Always felt like that with Summers, and LA was definately like an extension of that to almost everyday.
So needless to say when I cam back this place felt like a freezer
