No. No. A resounding NO!!!
I never want to see snow up close and personal again. EVER.
All I can think of as I see the local ski resorts [on the local news] filled with smiling skiers and snowboarders is, ARE YOU PEOPLE NUTS?!!
You're voluntarily putting yourself in that?! :dontknow:Thanks for the offer, though. :laugh:
You have ski resorts? I just imagine you wouldn't have much skiing, tobogganing and snowboarding in LA. 
They don't seem to indulge in any winter sports in Hong Kong. We have plenty here though.

Saturday we got around 2 inches of snow. Some areas got as much as 9 inches. You can have it all.
The thing about the LA area is its varied geography and climate zones. For example, I'm in the San Gabriel Valley. It, and the...*cough*...OTHER valleyYou have ski resorts? I just imagine you wouldn't have much skiing, tobogganing and snowboarding in LA.
(the one everyone on earth knows of, as in Valley Girls), the San Fernando Valley, have very different weather from downtown LA, the surrounding mountains, the low desert, the high desert, and the beaches. In the summer the valleys might be 100 while in downtown LA it's 85, Santa Monica/Malibu might be 75, Palm Springs 110, and up in the San Gabriel Mountains 60. Right now--during what passes as winter here--it's snowing like crazy up at the mountain ski resorts. Check out these pictures from Mountain High/Wrightwood and Big Bear/Snow Summit.And here are a few shots from my house in Dallas. BRRRRR!!!
(My children, Freddie Mercury and Queen, didn't like the ice/snow any more than I did. But they had to potty, you know? They figured, "if Mommy is out here with us, it must be okay!")

You consider Dallas cold?!
Yeah, you're right about Cali. I lived in Sonoma County for the winter. Same weather everyday. Low of about 45, high near 60. Well, I drove about 2 hours north towards Humboldt for Christmas and it was freezing! And, I didn't even have winter clothing for it.

I was unlucky enough to be there when it was in single digits. Yes, I *DO* think that's cold! Besides, as a native Southern Californian...well, let's just say I started out as one hell of a weather wimp.You consider Dallas cold?!
Living in Dallas for years changed that, in terms of tolerating the awful weather, but I never LIKED it. Anything below 50 is too cold for me, and when the high is 9 or 22, yeah, it sucked. But more than the cold was the ice, which made life interesting on the roads. Yep!Yeah, you're right about Cali. I lived in Sonoma County for the winter. Same weather everyday.

I don't own a sweater or, heaven forbid, a jacket. But when our kids are here later this month we're going on a whale watching excursion--and according to everybody it'll be *COLD* (but recall that last week when the highs were in the upper 50s, the natives thought the world was coming to an end...because of the BRUTAL COLD :rofl.
They just has snow in Cairo, too, for the first time in 112 years.
Yeah, I read about that--I think Israel got snow, too, right?
Snowing hard again here, 2-4" predicted but at this rate it's going to be more. Offer still stands, anyone want it? Oh, it's all of 7 too. Up from the big fat 0 it was when I got up. Brrr...
Yup. The whole middle east was thrown into the ice box. Rare snow storm hits Middle East | Earth | EarthSky
Let me mull this offer over for a moment... :hmmmm2:
NO!!! Still a resounding no!!!! :laugh:
No, no, no, no, no...
When I'd take Freddie and Queenie out in THAT, they'd be like "oh, wow, look at this white stuff!" And I'd be standing there shivering, yelling...I mean, saying, "HURRY THE [BLANK] UP AND POTTY ALREADY!!"

Love it when the snow is higher than our kitties legs are long 
And after the first time, once a path is made, they tend to use the set stepping holes.

You've been spying on me! That's pretty darn close to the typical trip out. Lilly and Tickle love it, me, not so much. Good thing I trained them to pee on command. It's yucky out there!!!
What a cutie!!
9 inches? Nothin. I'll take it all. Please. Bring it.

Yep, you all have us beat.
I wish. We've been dry(ish) for a few years now. I'd love a good foot of snow or two. Make my back sore.
It's the best sore there is.
