Although L.A. is probably the most undeserving city of delightfully random waves of perfect summer-like weather in winter, Mother Nature is feeling generous again and granting us another few 80-degree days. Sure, it's a sign of irreparable damage to the entire planet's ecosystems and melting away of the poles, but don't lie... you know it feels awesome. To not appreciate it in some capacity would be a shame, especially when a good portion of the country is experiencing a true winter wonderland that does not quite have the magical charm of the holiday snow flurries sprinkled over The Grove. So, here's a little reminder in case you've forgotten how to maximize this streak of summery glory with these eight ways to take advantage of 80-degree days in February and March.

Sure, it's a sign of irreparable damage to the entire planet's ecosystems and melting away of the poles, but don't lie... you know it feels awesome. To not appreciate this downright delightful weather in some capacity would be a crying shame, especially when a good portion of the country is experiencing a true winter wonderland that does not quite have the magical charm of the holiday snow flurries sprinkled over The Grove.

Fat Tuesday festivities leaving you not so chipper this morning? Hopefully it was worth it, but even if you only have some plastic beads and a bitchin' hangover to show for your school night debauchery, at least you have this straight-up glorious 80-degree day of what Accuweather describes as "brilliant sunshine," and nothing—not even regrettable behavior from last night—can take that away from you. Seriously though, I'm pretty sure I saw the neighborhood gardeners skipping along earlier this morning.

Now let's take a looksie at our gorgeous summer in February weather versus the situation in NYC today (what's the point of having awesome weather if you can't gloat about it?)... More»

If you've taken a gander at the weather forecast for this week, you're aware that Mama Nature (or global warming—either or) is doing big things for us and, as was the case a few weeks ago, has decided Los Angeles should be in the upper 70s and 80s in January. That means it's time to bust out the jorts like it's summer again and enjoy this beautiful mid-winter gift we're being given. More»

Mother nature is confused again and has decided it's appropriate for Los Angeles to be 80 degrees in January. Today's highs are actually in the neighborhood of 85° across the city. Sure, it's a sign the poles are melting away but I mean, come on... it feels awesome, plus I'm wearing my Tobias Fünke shorts today! To not appreciate this downright delightful weather in some capacity would be a crying shame. So, to make sure you make the most of the next couple of days of summer-like warmth, we bring you 8 Ways To Take Advantage of this Juneuary! More»

Hot dayummm, summer is confused!! My August tan is fading and Los Angeles is literally 100 degrees in the middle of October. But I'm not complaining. I so much prefer surprise heatwaves over wet, dreary days when this town has no idea how to cope with rain. This is what I like to refer to as Jewish girl's "leave the sweater at home" kind of weather. For those of you without jappy friends, Jewish girls are always cold and we never leave the house without an extra layer, even in summer and especially at night, just in case there's a draft or it gets chilly. It has nothing to do with our theology, it's just in our DNA. And with L.A. being a desert, it always cools down to sweater-worthy temps at the very least. More»
