In the spring and early summer, vacationers pour into Southern California. We know they have been looking forward to beaches, sunshine, and a dip in the beautiful blue Pacific. Admittedly, as nice as it is here, we do have some minor weather occurrences. They happen regularly, so we don’t make much of a fuss over them. People on the East Coast name their weather anomalies such as hurricanes and tropical storms using female names one year and male names the next. Our stuff is so inconsequential we just use the same names every year. We have two female names and one male name. They are “May Gray” and “June Gloom” for the ladies, and “Coastal Eddy” for the guy. We Southern Californians are just thankful we don’t have to put up with the likes of Jack Frost.
