I’m sure it beats being here (in NY state) this month too! We’ve had single digit temps for a few days in the mornings already this winter and a few more coming up later this week. That usually doesn’t happen until late January or February.

Yeah, I’ve been getting reports from my folks as to what’s been going on back East ― they are really getting hammered so far this year!

I’ve never been to New York in February but I’ve visited Santa Monica in winter time. It’s warmer isn’t it?

Oh yes! We and my parents were on a trip to visit my cousins in the L.A. area; we flew out of Albany in a blizzard and landed in California to sunshine and 70 degree temperatures and flowers blooming. Anecdotal reports from my dad are that he was watching us wander around the open-air mall in Irvine and growing increasingly concerned about the little gears he could see turning in our heads …

I love New York, the state and the city, but it isn’t comfortable in winter. Santa Monica is beautiful.

Beautiful Pic. Do you live in New York? I escaped New Jersey winters to live in Florida. Many New Yorkers are doing the same.

We used to live in New York! The trip involving the picture you see here is the main reason we don’t anymore … 😁

Not where we are! They do have snow up in the mountains though if we ever feel the desire to visit it. So far we’ve done it once lol

Snow and cold are not too bad as long as they don’t interrupt our daily doings…like they did today. Sleet, freezing rain, snow and wind. UGH! ALl the schools were closed and I had to shovel that mess off the walkway and driveway.
Now it’s 23F or so…but at least the snow machine stopped for now. That beach does look inviting!

Wow! I’ll bet! So glad you and your wife stuck it out and didn’t move back east to CT (?). Ugh. Driving on sand-covered icy roads vs sitting in sand with a cold one… not a hard choice! 😎

Ha, no, our reaction to the headhunter who had promised jobs in California and then found one in Connecticut after we moved was, “We didn’t move to across the country to California so that we could move back across the country to Connecticut!” 😂

The only time I’ve been to LA it rained every day but one, and it was cold. Being the great planner than I am, I didn’t pack for rain and cold. I was counting on life being like that pic up top. Of course, San Diego was nice when I went there.

My parents have noted that whenever they come to visit us it usually starts raining the day before they arrive, keeps raining the entire time they’re here, and turns nice again the day they leave. It seems to be some kind of Californiaspiracy …

It definitely wasn’t the LA that popular media tries to sell me. Still, we had a blast—I’d just like to see it in the sunlight when I wasn’t wet and miserable.
