Another Reason To Be Glad You Live In L.A. (And Not NYC) Today

by THEO HENDRIX · February 22, 2012

    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?)...
