Two phrases I find myself saying in NYC, that I never said before.
Kind
of obvious for everyone else, but not for this native SoCal girl. Sure
it gets hot in the valleys. Sure it can get kind of cold some days in
the winter. But it's rarely "too hot" or "too cold" to do something like
it is here.
For example:
"Let's go jogging before it gets too hot/too cold."
"Let's rent bikes and bike Central Park before it gets too hot/too cold."
"Let's go to the beach before it gets too hot/too cold."
Too hot was this past weekend, when it was in the 90s and humid.
Too cold was probably around late November or so. For me personally, any time it's below 55.
There
was one day in early December when I was out and about and forced to
buy an expensive sweater from Brooklyn Industries because I was too cold
and too far from home to go back to get a sweater. I think it was below
40 that day.
There's only a small window of time when
the weather is perfect, and not even consistently so. Maybe about a
month to a month and a half in the spring, and likewise for the fall.
Except, interspersed in those days are crazy thunderstorms and days when
the weather can't decide what season it wants to be.
It
makes you appreciate those days that are sunny and 72, like today, that
are most days in L.A. Yet I never noticed them in L.A. because it was
such the norm.
I think I'll head to the park and lounge. Before it gets too hot.
