I suppose part of it is what you're used to.  I am a recent transplant
to Southern CA and find it quite amuzing that people turn on their
headlights when clouds come out.
I especially find it amusing that when it sprinkles here, (it doesn't
"rain" here) people have their wipers on as fast as they can go and
have major accidents on the roads.
I think most Californians would faint if they ever experienced REAL
weather....
