San Diegans Bitch About Cold Weather

by staff on January 1, 2009

Our idea of crappy weather.

Our idea of crappy weather.

Every year the same thing happens.  For the span of a few weeks the temperature in San Diego drops to highs of 60 degrees and lows of 50 degrees and the entire city begins to complain about the weather. I hear all types of groans from “This isn’t supposed to happen, this is San Diego not New York”  to “I moved to here for the good weather, I should have just stayed where I was.”

The truth is while San Diegans are bundled up, sipping their lattes near a fire pit at the beach whining about the overcast, some guy in Green Bay, Wisconsin is trapped in his house by a snow storm, and is considering eating his dog to survive.

So stop badmouthing our climate!  We need a few drops of rain.  And while it may be 60 degrees today, just thank your lucky stars that you’re not in one of these stinkholes:

City                          Recent Highs/Lows
Minneapolis, MN     20 / 0
Waterloo, IA              25 / -6
Bismarck, ND             0 / -13
Manchester, NH      18 / 7
La Crosse, WI            5/  -6
