It's been really cold here (for CA). Next couple days the highs will only be in the high 40's (48ish). That's really cold. Lows will be down into low/mid 30s.

That's warm for Illinois
LOL I know. When I talk to my family in MI and tell them the temp, they'd say the same thing. I don't expect sympathy from them or anyone back east.
When we first moved to CA, I literally threw out all my winter coats, bringing with me light jackets. We moved in late Sept. When I walked my kids to the corner for the school bus, I'd see kids in winter coats, scarves, hats, etc. I'd laugh at them thinking, it's not cold at all. Well, fast forward a couple years and I am one of those people I laughed at. I guess it's true and your blood thins or something.
Anyway, it IS colder than normal here.
