 Yup, textbook SoCal winter day.  Rainy all night, cloudy in the morning (but the ground already nearly dry*), birght sunny 85 by lunch.  Faaaantastic.

				It's a huge blow up snow globe with santa and a snow man in it. It blows fake snow around inside the globe.

*One of the odder things to get used to for a Southern Californian if you're visiting, say, Seattle...if it hasn't rained for a day or 2, the ground may still very well be wet!  Down here, if it hasn't rained in the last 60 minutes, all pavement and asphalt is dry.  A few more hours, and your lawn is dry.  The perpetual wetness is somehow oddly unsettling if you're not used to it.
