Sunny California

Most of my family live in cold weather climes. They're getting to experience some fun weather right now so a weather report email thread has developed over the last couple days with (paraphrased) comments like these:

Western Lower Michigan: "The weather is so bad they've called off church. The library was closed and the line at the video store was 20 deep. The snow has drifted two feet up against our sliding glass door."

Minnesota #1: "It's -16º here."

Illinois (outside St. Louis): "It's 20º with 20 mph winds."

Indiana: "It's been below 15º with windchills between -5º and -15º for the last couple days."

Pennsylvania: "Our temps are normal: highs in the single digits. We have about 6–8 inches of snow on the ground."

Northwestern Lower Michigan: "Our low overnight was 0º and it's now 1º. We had our lot snow-plowed four times this last week. It takes me about 20 minutes to clean off the cars."

Western Lower Michigan: "It's 2º here now. The snowblower was only up to doing half the driveway. It's resting now. It was crazy on the road last night. I was stuck in the street but I made it out. I left my cell phone on in the car so they could know how my progress was getting home."

Minnesota #2: "We'll get close to the record of 84 hours below 0º. They're expecting windchills of -30º today."

Minnesota #1: "We made it to -18º this morning."

Western Lower Michigan: "The kids' school just cancelled. Snow is blowing around again."

Pennsylvania: "Wind is howling and blowing snow. School is on a two-hour delay. The TV is listing 95 delays or cancellations."

Minnesota #1: "It was -11º with a windchill of 120 (must be a typo!) when the school bus came on Friday. Windchills were below -30º on Saturday night."

I so so want to reply to all these emails but what would I say? "It's 60º here at 8:00pm with a high of 65º for tomorrow. Guess I won't be needing my jacket." My family would kill me.
