It's raining again in the Bay Area.

I actually teased my drug dealer yesterday. He had a wool cap on and was shaking inside the liquor store. He is a younger fella, in his 20s, and just moved here from India this year. This is his first US Winter. As I bought my wine and smokes, I told him about Midwestern Winters, and he shuddered. I suggested he drive up to the High Sierra "just for the day" so he could experience "real cold." His name is Sukki (or is it Suki?)--probably short for some long Indian name I'd have a hard time pronouncing. Anyway, yesterday was extra chilly because it was sunny. But it's raining again today, the kind of slow, steady Seattle-style rain we like. Too much rain too suddenly and we get landslides. How is the weather where you are? If you're a Northerner (referring in this case to hemispheres) are the night time lows gradually creeping down? I have my hoodie on as I type, and will be heading to Guitar Center in a bit for one of our "open houses." It's a good day to be inside.

I love this weather but it refuses to rain here. Even Mountains not getting rain. I know because there is no snow. Awe I love when mountains get snow and then next day gets all warm and looks like a puddle of mud. Nope, just dry dirt. They say all the rain going north this year because of La Nina. El Nino, that was the dude, had this place flowing with water. 2010 I think. Last time this place was crazy with rain.

Beneficial weather good... we've been getting light rain on and off too. It's sunny where I live now. If Marukai Wholesale Mart nearby has stamps I'll go soon.

@TheHorse Postage stamps. But they accept only cash or checks for payment of stamps.

It rained earlier. Sun is out now. When it gets cold in California it gets cold.

Yeah, but it's not "really" cold. It just "feels" cold.

It seems to be a bit on the warm side as usual. Temps tend to favor the 60's this time of year at night, and 70's to 80's during the day. Thought we were going to have a thunderstorm this morning, turned out to be someone pulling something heavy down the street.

We had rain overnight and this morning. High's in the 40s lows in lows in the low 30s. Tomorrow should be our driest day for the next week, then its rain every day until next weekend with similar temp's. I am sure that your weather is a shock to Sukki or Suki's system. We have a dear friend who is a missionary to India and he says their weather seasons are hot and hotter.

We had horrible wind last night, which has brought us some very cold temps, but no rain or snow. The sun was shining today, but it definitely was cold.

@TheHorse 32 F (0ยบ C) is not too cold also for me. I was born in Milan and when I was young winters were a lot colder than in our days in the city.

@LadyDuck Do you think Winters were colder several decades ago? That's what my friends in Iowa are telling me.

0 C isn't that cold to me, as I am from the Midwest, but it is considered cold here in Coastal California.

Our little blue-green ball is a closed system. The water has to be somewhere.

My world has had some sun peeking through today. The temps are probably in the low 40s. Pretty nice for December.

The 40s feel chilly to me. Unless I am somewhere where they have "real" Winters.

Yep. Ohio, and Iowa, where I went to (and taught) college, is a part of our Northern "frozen tundra" at times.

How hot was it? Does it ever get really cold there? I'll have to take a peek and see how far Kenya is from the Equator.

@Treborika I just checked. The Equator runs through Kenya! Do you have "fast" sunsets?

The Guitar Center has a lot of open houses. I'm sure they must pay off or they wouldn't bother.
