Anti Snowbirds

It is terribly foggy, drippy, cold and damp right now here in the Central Valley area of California. This would be normal for, say, the Hoh River Valley on the Olympic Peninsula (Washington's coastal rain forest), but for here it's just annoying. I find it highly ironic that my reasons for looking forward to spending Christmas/New Years up in Kitsap County, WA include weather-related ones! Yeah, let's go North for the Winter, where the weather makes some sense! Plus, there's a remote chance of snow, which is always a plus.
