You've got to Be Kidding Me! Only In California

[daycare]

So every Tuesday and Thursday we go to the park near the house.

It has finally gotten cold for us which is 56 degrees, this is the high for today. At night in the 30's.

I had 3 parents ask me not to go to the park this morning because it's too cold to go outside. WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! I told them that unless it is inclement weather, example lightning, under 32, or pouring down rain, we always go outside. I also reminded them that it is their responsibility to make sure that their child is dressed for the weather daily, no matter what time of the year. One mom actually took her kid back home. I just smiled and waived as they walked out the door.

It should be around 46 when we go an I intend to stay the full 2 hours we always do.

ok now you snow birds can laugh at us..

I can't believe what a sissy we Cali people can be... I hate the cold, but I would hate to be locked up for 10.5 hours with 14 kids for the next few weeks...

It currently is -15 here with the windchill so the parents would be thrilled if I took the kids out in 40 degree weather. That's t-shirt weather in comparison to this...

You guys are so silly! I can't imagine thinking 30 degrees or even 40 is too cold...so lucky! ::

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy gosh I'd love that weather . I don't mind freezing temps. I don't mind scorchers. I just hate them in the same week like here .

Picture it... I wake up..sun is beautiful.... I stretch... Enjoy the 80 degree day... Go to sleep... Wake up... It's 28 degrees outside .

The 'real feel' is 19* here and I HATE THE COLD! I don't even mind the time it takes to get all the winter gear on. I just wish it wasn't necessary! I ****ed it up this morning and will **** it up later to get outside, though.

LOL at your daycare parents leaving with the kid though! That's extreme! It isn't like it's a danger to him or anything!

That would be hilarious for a parent to leave because you were going outside. I'd pray for the same temp tomorrow. Heck you may have an easy week .

[daycare]

I knew you guys would laugh, heck I am from here and I thought that it was super funny.

I just don't understand why parents think this way. It is proven that the cold does not cause colds or flu, but I guess Californian's think that we are obsolete from this....

Oh well, one less kid to have to watch at the park.

WOW. Insane.

Christmas day, we had a weirdly warm day--high of 49. After we opened gifts, my daughter and I threw on light sweaters over our pjs and went for a walk in the "warm" weather!

[AuntTami]

Oh my. It's SUPER COLD here today. My back screen door is frosted over because it's so cold outside and so much warmer in here . My parents would pull their kids OUT if I told them we couldn't go outside because it was "too cold" if the temp was over 40 lmao. You Californians

[Blackcat31]

You are all a bunch of pansies!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Unlike Kabob who has windchill temps in the negatives, my actual temp is in the negatives today.

Keeps you alert and on your toes

I lovethis winter.

Can I print this out and post in the parent board. Lmao.

I find this hilarious, also! I remember that during a trip to San Diego years ago, being amazed at the Californians in winter coats (the kind we wear when it's below zero) when my family was running around So. Cal. in our shorts and short-sleeved shirts with sandals! I couldn't imagine why a person could even purchase a parka in that climate! In 56 degree weather, we're still wearing shorts here. I don't even put on a jacket when I go out shopping until it's under 30!

Sounds a little bit like our South Florida weather but not today. It is hot out today. I wish it was a little cooler but not 46 brrrrr. :: No really I wouldn't mind 46 but the Northerner's gotta remember that once you live in this climate for a while your blood kinda thins out or so I have heard.

P.S. Just Googled the blood thinning thing. It is a myth. It said a higher altitude makes a difference but not a warmer climate.

Sounds like New England!

[midaycare]

Wow! Our "feel like" weather here is 8 right now. But we still tough it out. Everyone gets dressed up warm and cozy and we go out for 10 minutes here and there.

I think that is really funny of the dcf.

[Controlled Chaos]

hahaha it is 12 degrees here BEFORE wind chill! And we have crazy strong wind today! One parent commented casually to put gloves on the kids when I go out. We aren't going out only because of the wind but I love that these Utahn parents are down for freezing cold play ::
