While a 1/3'rd of the nation is buried under 10 inches of snow, pelted by ice storms, or just plain freezing with temps in the teens, we in California experience our version of December.
Now truth be told, there are really only the 2 seasons here, Rain or Sun. This is the rainy season, but it really doesnt get into full swing until January, so we have managed to have some really nice days.
It gets chilly at night, and I had to laugh the other evening while Laura and I were watching the weather on the 11:00 news. The weathercaster was gearing up in his voice, and like a man speaking as if the fear of God was put forth into him, he remarks," and tonight we may dip into the 30's" ending his sentence with a tone that was incredibly dramatic. It is all relative to where you live, and to most of the winter bearing states, his dramatic accounts of the forecast for the night might seem a bit over the top, but to us it was time to turn on the heat!!! Luckily for us, it was back up to 65 F during the day.

I love our version of "weather" here. I am amused when my neighbor comes out in a parka with hat, scarf, and gloves when it is 50 degrees!
When I was in college in upstate NY, we'd put shorts on and lay out in the sun if it got up to 50. I guess it's all relative.
Totally understand, becuase when I was living in Chicago, I thought 50 degrees was a heat wave in December, but here, I am the same way, because I will have on a warm coat and turn up the heat in 50 degree weather.
Another thing I love so much is the fact that no matter what month of the year it is, there are always some green trees, and some type of flower in bloom.
