Oh the weather outside is frightful

10 02 2010

Not really.

The snow is currently only wisping down and barely covers naked sidewalks; the wind is not howling.

This is not a blizzard. This is winter.

I’ve noted that I grew up and went to school in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and spent a few (beautiful) years in Montreal, so I bring a certain snobbishness to an ability to handle the cold.

A city should have plows, sand, and ice—and know how to use them.

A person should—I—have a kick-ass jacket, a hat, scarf, mittens, long underwear (if necessary), and boots. Heavy duty boots.

Today is just a day in February; there’s no reason to shut the city down.

Still.

If my bosses decide to close the office for the day and wish us all a happy snow day, why then I’ll be that obedient office drone and stay home.

I’m adaptable that way.

I wondered this morning if they would un-close the schools.

See? Not everything in L.A. is great. We never get snow-days.

I’m always surprised by how stunned we modern-day humans are that: Yep. The weather still does its job!

Of course, when I lived in Tel Aviv, the entire city would become an impassable mess about three times a winter because of too much RAIN, so I have a particularly powerful snobbishness about it.
