It is the depth of winter and it is 54 degrees (f) or 12 (c) in oakland california. How’s the winter going in other places where it doesn’t snow? Here’s a photo I took a few days ago. My mom said it was very cold but then after we walked around for a while she had to take her jacket off.
It’s like summer in australia and NZ right now, right? I have seen the snow two times in my life. Maybe our warm tales will help our frozen brethren and sistren and nbren.
Phoenix is great. A little colder than normal. One thing that happens in the winter here is some sunsets will turn everything pink, including the air around you. It’s a bit hard to capture in photos but very magical:
Just when I start to think I miss the winter I’ll get a picture like this from a friend back in Michigan and that thought will disappear:
@sdate in real life norcal, that is to say north of sacramento, they do get snow in higher elevations, and of course there’s Tahoe. I’ve seen melting snow in the sierra mountains a couple times as a kid. but in terms of falling snow that comes approaches my doorstep, apparently it snowed once in berkeley in like 1979? It snowed all over the hills last year as well and it was a capital E Event (which I also did not see because I don’t live in the hills). It simply does not happen here. It doesn’t get cold enough! We get hail sometimes though. the two times I was in the snow were in new york and slovakia! The Mojave I believe is a place where it is Known To Snow.
@MoH yeahhhh gimme a pink sky over an ice soup any day
summer here 
but right now it actually cooled down a bit to a more liveable temperature. tomorrow should stay the same but then it'll crank right back up next week.
This is the only time of year I get to wear socks, pants, and closed toed shoes and not instantly melt into a sweaty little pile of onions.
Sometimes I even get to wear long sleeves.
@Tradegood and new zealanders!

@MoH I always wondered what they had against podes!

One time the top of the big hill over here was covered in white after a hail storm so people were posting about how it snowed there but it turns out it was just hail cause it disappeared in less than 20 minutes lol
I’ll make a point to get out and take some pictures. It is, indeed, summertime.
@MoH Gotta love an Arizona sunset. That said, given how long and brutal summer was this year I’ll gladly take the cool weather.
No snow here in Atlanta, GA but the persimmons have fallen from the trees (photo from early December.)
@treefroggy Is that someone skateboarding on the wing of a jetliner up top there
@Bbtone
any time I’m hanging there I witness a Hyper Crazy Climber.
