21ºC for us non-Americans. That would be a pleasant year's worth of weather for me, given that the winter temperature in my Canadian city can reach -35ºC in the deepest part of winter.
It is almost a cliche but my friends who moved to LA truly do miss the seasons, especially leaves changing colors. It is like living in a giant open-air mall all year long. When nothing changes but the store displays, the seasonal heartbeat is lost. Living in LA, of course, means they can go to the beach all-year long with a short commute though. Snapchat is particularly smart for having its corporate headquarters al…

You can go to the beach whenever you want, but even in July the water is friggin freezing.
Winter surfing in January/February in -20C (-4F) is a thing in my region.

I've been doing this for the last few years but with my brain as the planning tool. It only hit mid 60's today on the Maine coast.

My guess is he was European - people from the West coast would know not to go in the water, and American men rarely wear speedos. I imagine the concept of being at the beach on a warm sunny day, but the water is too cold to enter, was completely unknown to him.

I would kill myself July - October... in the middle of nowhere...
People from Idaho would tell you, "It sucks here! Don't come! You'll hate it." The reality is that this track takes you through one of the most beautiful parts of the US. Oregon and Idaho have an amazing array of climates and landscapes. You could be wakeboarding along an almost tropical Snake River in Hells Canyon in the morning and then hiking in the high alpine of the Wallowa Range later that day. Truly my favorit…
