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.

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.

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.

The temps have been in the 40s and 50s. Warm for this time of year. The bottom is sure to drop out soon.

@TheHorse I'll take any day over freezing as a win-win. One less day until spring!

@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.
