East Coasters are convinced that us LA folk have it made, what with our amazing weather and warm beaches. However, little does the world know that California living under the 100-degree sun isn't really all that.
Can we please just get some cool air around here every once and a while, or is that seriously too much to ask for?
We all want what we don't have, a truth that Cali residents know far too well! Here are the true feels of California's climate, as told by "Gossip Girl" character Blair Waldorf:
1. It's literally sunny 95% of the year.
2. That said, when it rains, it pours.
3. Cali drivers literally forget how to function when water falls from the sky. Clearly, it is an indicator of an approaching apocalypse.
4. When we were little, our elementary schools imported snow so we would feel special on the holidays, even though it was 85 degrees outside. Needless to say, we weren't fooled.
5. You would wake up in the morning and it will be freezing cold, but you'll ditch your parka by noon when the weather has reached the mid 90s.
6. Our version of Fall is a 75-degree day with minimal clouds.
7. We buy a surplus of sweaters it's usually too hot outside to wear and obsess over pumpkin-flavored everything hoping and praying for some light rain and a cool breeze.
8. Disappointment is accepting that the weather will likely never drop below 65.
9. But then the weather channel boasts that we're going to have sunny skies until Christmas, as if that's a good thing.
10. Lightning - a very rare occurrence that is synonymous with ticking bombs or gunshots and absolutely unfamiliar and terrifying.
