True, but in the case of L.A. it's a little weirder because you can see snow if you look at the mountains in the winter and it isn't a very long trip to get to that snow, so it's more of a by choice thing.

    OK, that is kinda weird to me too. I haven't been out that way yet, so I forget that there's mountains right there too. And the more I think about it, the weirder it seems. Why wouldn't the curiosity or even the novelty drive someone to try and go see what's kinda right there? Maybe I just think snow is cool and am biased lol

    Part of it, I think, is that you get so accustomed to the warm climate that you just hate being cold. When I first moved there, it was in the 60s and I had my windows open and the apartment manager stopped by and was shocked that I had the windows open when it was so cold out. And then within maybe 5 years, I felt the same way. And now I'm back in Indiana and, again, it took a few years, but now I'm back to opening the windows when it's in the 60s and wearing shorts and a light jacket when it's in the 50s.

    But still, you would think curiosity would be enough to drive you to do it at least one time.
