A matter of degrees

This morning i had to drag my umbrella out (Ive had it almost as long as ive been in the Bay area), as it was raining this morning.

In truth, it was only slightly more than a heavy drizzle, that didnt even last all that long.

But, the natives kept muttering that it was a forewarning to come of ...*taa dum dum duuummmm* ... *quotey fingers* "winter".

I think this is the first time it has rained since April, and this is a taste of what'll be like in winter here, which runs roughly from mid-november to february.

I was trying to give clint and idea of the weather here. Natives here just say 'micro-climates'. For clint, I tried to relate it to what he's used to in north florida.

As he put it, the seasons in Jax are spring, summer and a month of winter.

Well, I put it the seasons in San Francisco are spring, autumn and a month of summer.

So, this spot of rain is the first warning that *quotey fingers* "summer" is gonna be over soon.

Durnit.

As I stood at the corner of Haight and Cole a few hours ago, comoing from the goodwill sale (2 bux on ALL clothing, including vintage leather jackets), the wind from the ocean whipped around me.

Today's bright, sunny afternoon is a 2 fleecer. Paradoxical, eh?

If your standing in the bright sun, it feels warm. Stand in the shade, and the maritime breeze will chill with a quickness.

This is called *quotey fingers* "mild".

And clint was complaining about it being in the 90's in Jax, being in the 60's at night..

which is the current high temperature in The City.

Eh, its a matter of degrees I guess. :)
