The DU Lounge

I've lived in the Northeast, the South, desert Southwest, Northern and Southern California, England, Germany, and South Korea so I've experienced winter in different climes. I've shoveled snow, driven in snow, iced roads and blizzards, cleared snow off my car, deiced my windshields, and other things. Thank you but, no thank you for winter where it's cold and there's snow.

I'm happy to live in the San Diego region where the coldest it gets is in the low 60s or high 5os and not a flake of snow to be seen except when looking at the local mountains. I like our weather where I can wear shorts 9 -- 10 months of the year and go for a walk without having to put layers of clothes on.

I also don't like winter because it's darker and the plants have gone into hibernation leaving the area to look bleak.
