Sky over WTC

Weather in LA is paradisal steady state. The movement of major systems operate to the north and south of SoCal as the planet moves west and the winds flow east, and therefore the skies over LA are an eddy of blue whose temperature ranges between 85˚and 65˚day by night, summer by winter, year by year. NY, not so much. The jet stream that comes in from the Pacific mixes with plumes of hot air from the gulf and so we get to witness most of the weather that affects blasts the rest of the country.
