it's Freezing in Southern California [View all]

i have only experienced Southern California winters and it seems colder than it has ever been. i usually love going out when it's cold . but i'm freezing even in some of my heaviest clothes. i love to go walk outside, especially when it's cold but my feet start to freeze up now.

i think i need to buy a new coat.

there are a lot of homeless especially in the Los Angeles area. i hope everyone is able to find some warmth.
