"Rainy Season"

During the month of January I kept hearing Californians reference that we were in "rainy season." I figured we were entering a period of three months of Seattle-esque weather, with non-stop gloomy, wet days. Au contraire. While there was indeed much more rain than I had experienced in the fall, there were still some days of sun each week and some days were merely gray. And this only lasted about three weeks, much shorter than the New England definition of "season." I don't know whether we are officially done with "rainy season," but it has been about 60 degrees and sunny the past few days and the extended forecast looks to be the same. No complaints from me!
