Indian Summer In December

Heh, well weather patterns are different everywhere, but this always happens here in so cal.

We get a small taste of winter, wind/rain/"cold" temps at the end of oct and nov. then very frequently it is very nice in Dec. Including 80 on xmas day like this year. It kind of lulls you. You think, not so bad, and days are getting longer now so winter is over right?

Then comes January, February and March to slap you in the face (and April and May too if at any altitude). And even in So Cal it's a long annoying period of the REAL winter left to go.

Don't let the dec warm-up fool you!

I cannot understand why Americans use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius...

Because we like it. We're weird that way.

Yep.
We have no centuries long traditions so we make them up as we go.
They don't have to make sense as long as we like them.

No one else likes it so why not keep it here.
Same thing with that other metric nonsense.

Changing wasn't our idea so why bother.

You do notice everyone still likes $$$ U.S. $$$ even in the bad economy.

Yeah I mean this is really weird. We use DD-MM-YY format instead of MM-DD-YY format, calculate distance in kilometers instead of miles, checking temperature in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, weighing using kilograms instead of pounds, etc.

Really weied. Isn't it?

I always figured we are only weird to others for keeping them.

Everyone one else is REALLY weird for changing.
