We have four seasons in L.A.: Fire, Flash Flood, Earthquake, and Awards.

Seriously, I've been noticing the cold. I haven't had to wear long pants for the whole season in over a decade. It feels so normal, going back to how it was in my childhood, but I know it's only a brief respite from climate change.

In Minneapolis, we say: Winter, and Construction.

> from climate change

You mean global warming. It describes more accurately the situation we are in.

> The average low for the month was 46.5 degrees […] The overall average temperature during the month was 54 degrees

I'm sorry what? Only if they were measuring in kelvin does that qualify as "cold" let alone "really cold".

it's "really cold" if you're from southern california and "beach weather" if you're from a lot of the rest of the world

And even if you're a transplant (at least with me) that's used to cold winters, you've got 1-2 years before you normalize to the weather. First year here I really believed there was no winter in LA, but after you acclimate you realize it was all a lie!
