Lots of people moving here from blue lefty shithole cities and states. We clip them every chance we get. Oh, you are from California or New York? That house price just doubled. Then they pay up. These bue lefties are afraid of something. The first Summer shakes them up. The humidity, pollen, and heat fucks with them bad.

Meanwhile, the locals are cold when it hits 80 Fahrenheit.

I'm finally seeing some empty looking shelves. Guess it took longer to hit here. Shipping is slower than it used to be. The crypto market had a big correction.

Location: Pasadena, Southern California.

There is snow in the ground. What?!?? I've never seen this before here, and from what I've read it hasn't happened since the 50s! We just had highs of 32°C three days ago (according to Acuweather), which isn't that hot, sure, but certainly not cold! Very chaotic weather, and I'm surprised I've found no other posts about this anywhere, as I've never seen this and my family were pretty shocked about it too… Maybe the weather is very localised; it happens near Filmore station but near Sierra Madre Villa station only around 10 blocks away it is significantly warmer. So, maybe it's just not widespread enough to be reported quickly. I may post some pictures if I can get some good ones; currently the only daytime picture of this I have has a person in it.

First Texas, now Southern California, perhaps. I suspect climate change, which causes more extreme weather, but as weather ≠ climate, it is also possible that this is just a one-off aberration. Will have to see if such strange weather continues into the future.
