Winter Wonderland?

Christmas in LA....I've lived here all my life and still have yet to see a white Christmas. That's OK, I mean snuggling with your loved ones near a blazing fire and looking out to a snowy vista has it's charms, but I can do with out the 20 foot snow drifts, scraping ice off your windshield, shoveling out the driveway and all the other "fun" activities associated with the stuff.

Southern California living means we get mild winters ( sometimes summer like even), and if you want snow it's a short drive away in the local mountains.  We recently had some of the strongest wind storms in the San Gabriel valley area in awhile. Trees fell onto cars, roads, homes, and knocked out power disrupting the lives of many residents. It's been unusually cool so far this fall so we will see what the actual winter turns out to be like soon enough.

All in all, So Cal is the best place to spend the Holidays.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
