Hopefully moving to FL or the southwest/SoCal one day is in my future. The cold and grey for 7 months of the year is just abysmal.

Lol! I moved from San Diego to Ohio and hopefully when all is done move back to San Diego

It is the middle of April. If anyone wants to talk global warming, just know that I'm all for it right about now.

My car is still sitting up high on my coilovers until i know for sure winter is done. This biplolar weather is ridiculous

Oh man that's brutal...

I've only lived in cloudy gloomy cities my entire life. But I've been to California a solid 20+ times and have fallen in love with San Diego. The Bay has become unreasonably expensive, and most of the LA area is a sh*thole. SD on the other hand is clean and feels like the true southern California experience.

Miami would be another option due to lower taxes and more reasonable home prices.

I'm i grad school for a profession where one can live wherever their heart desires which is a blessing. My folks on the other hand are in engineering and IT which makes cities like SD, Miami, etc. unrealistic if they wanted to progress in their careers.

I'd like to bring up the fact that it was 75-80 degrees this weekend. A little warm for my liking this time of year, but hey, we all have to suffer sometime.

I hope you do. I know that's not nice, but I hope you do. Mainly, this is me venting, because coming home, I also got stuck attempting to go up my driveway and just gave up and left the car where it stopped.

We aren't talking a steep incline btw - maybe a 10 degree gradient.

This was the view out the front door today. Below freezing in Chicago with more snow this week. It was almost 70 degrees here last week

The ironic thing is that global warming or more specifically, climate change, is possibly contributing to this erratic weather.

I am going to start a new activist group. Citizens Against Winter Climate or CAWK for short. We will protest for our supposed "elected leaders" to do something to end this winter weather NOW! Who will join me and the fight for more sensible climate control?

Actually, I'm kinda cool with this whole winter thing. Does that make me a CAWK blocker???
