You can have the heat. I want the rain that Oregon is hogging. This is entirely too soft of a winter. Heck we don't even have triple digit snow depths in the mountains yet.

Actually have a friend that lives within walking distance (ok a long walk) down by Lake Street. Less crowded at that end so we are going to walk down a couple of hours before the parade. About 12 years ago I went down to Colorado Blvd. at around 9:00pm. It was cold, crazy and the lines were about 1/4 mile long for the Porta-pots. We left at around 11:30pm and watched the parade on TV. I pretty much hate parades, but my wife wants to go just once....

Jfred, I just read this and would echo your statements about the temperature differential which was indigenous to Pasadena at this time of the year. I remember one year it was so cold that several of us piled into my old '55 and ran the engine and heater all night. By morning, the battery was dead and we'd used over a half a tank of ethyl which then sold for the priestly sum of about 24.9 per. Yup, I had some 'splainin to do!
