It is either freezing cold and snowing here or damned hot and dry.

We are a bit luckier here. The weather is quite moderate. You can look up
the latitude and see that we are roughly equal to some very cold regions of
the Midwest, but nothing could be further from the truth. It hardly ever
snows here. Some of the kids in my son's school have not actually seen snow
on the ground. OTOH, it very rarely gets above mid 70's, even in the summer.
There's a hell of a wind that develops of an afternoon in the summer (from
the jet stream) that keeps the area from getting hot. The hardest thing to
adjust to was the odd way that fog develops here. It can pull in off the
coast on any given day or time and be thick as hell.
Crabbing season is in full swing now and I've been offered to work on the
boats on my days off if I'd like. I think I'll try it just to see what it's
like. Not nearly as rough as farther north though. Still we get the
occasional storm and it's simply awesome to see the water blast the
breakers. Sounds like bombs going off.
If you ever happen to roll south down 101, please let me know and I'll treat
you to some of the best chowder in the west. It's the least I can do for all
the help you have given to me over the years.
