So I’m sitting here at LAX waiting for my flight back to the ATL.
All I can think about is that it’s 76 degrees here and 36 in Atlanta and 26 in Chicago.
I LOVE the cold.
My perfect day is 40 and partly cloudy.
But I fear Chicago might change that in me.
What about you?
What’s the perfect day in your mind?

    The middle of October, bright blue sky, 55 degrees, slight breeze, smell of woodsmoke in the air. Perfection.

        Stop talking about this, you are depressing me.

    June afternoon…mid 60s…on a cliff top overlooking Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.

      Amen. I’m alive another day.

    I don’t have 1 There is a perfect day for each place. Summer is Chicago is amazing and a prefect day then is a concert at Millenium Park and the kids playing in Crown Fountain. There is also a perfect day in the winter, the steam coming off the top of all the buildings. Lake Michigan frozen over and the reflection of the city on it. The magic of ice skating below the Bean at Millenium Park.
    I think we should find the perfect day no matter what our surroundings!

      Cant wait to feel it myself!!!!

    73, mostly sunny, low humidity, with barely a breeze.
    (In Iowa, this tends to be mid-late June. Looking forward to anything double digits right now.)

      Dang your Hawks. ;)

  6. rachelle renée 6 January 2010 at 12:43 pm #

    I’d say 30′s with lots of sun. I love having my knits and jacket, but I definitely like the sun around since the days are shorter.

  7. Kyle Reed 6 January 2010 at 12:53 pm #

    Spring, first time I get to wear shorts and play ultimate frisbee

    • Los 6 January 2010 at 2:03 pm #

      Bring the pain.

  8. Katie 6 January 2010 at 1:09 pm #

    Living in the midwest I love 50/60 and sunny with a light breeze and no humidity. Late Spring or early Fall is great. After one Chicago winter I think your love for cloudy will fade :)

    • Los 7 January 2010 at 5:12 am #

      So I hear

  9. Jessica Eveland 6 January 2010 at 1:11 pm #

    I grew-up in Colorado and then in High School moved to SoCal. I have done my time in the cold and now prefer a much more mild climate. 70′s are PERFECT!

  10. Sarah 6 January 2010 at 1:15 pm #

    Late spring/early summer in Missouri before it gets that uncomfortable hot; sunny. Just the right temperature where you could go swimming in the lake, but not so hot that you have to.

    Or smack-dab in the middle of summer in Washington: 80+ degrees, blue skies, both sets of mountains out in all their glory.

    Ok, so basically anything that lets me drive around with the windows down and wear flip-flops.

    • Los 7 January 2010 at 5:12 am #

      They hurt my feet.

  11. Kamrie Reed 6 January 2010 at 1:21 pm #

    I definately like 80 degree whether where it is perfect to swim in a pool and grill outside.

    • Los 6 January 2010 at 2:03 pm #

      80′s to hot for me. Besides I look horrible in a bathing suit

    65-ish degrees, bright and sunny, driving from my hometown (Henderson, TX) to my current (college) town (Waco, TX) early in the morning with the sun shining through my back windshield, all four windows down, and a light jacket on.

    Can you tell I’ve thought about this? :-D

    • Dave © 11 January 2010 at 7:36 pm #

      Ha! I made that trip many times myself! Waco to Longview and back. Always hated all those small towns in-between (well, not so much the small towns as much as the small town cops who just love to ticket out of staters going 3 miles over the limit).

    What a hard question! I have this Life film running in my mind. As long as I’m paying attention to God, I am content most of the time. Whether seeing the beautiful Cascades for the first time at the end of summer and now with snow, or sitting on the dock at the Fish Market in San Diego and looking across the bay. Perfection is remembering who laid it out for me! (because I’m far from perfect).

  16. Molly Moore 6 January 2010 at 2:47 pm #

    sunny
    cool in the morning, like you might need a light jacket
    warm in the afternoon, but you’re not going to sweat like crazy
    on the lake chillin in the boat

    I’m a fan of ‘brisk’ weather, which is close to what you’ve described. Fall is certainly the best time for briskness, but in the midwest, fall can easily get screwed up and just turn into ‘crap, it’s already winter, two months ahead of schedule.’

    • Los 7 January 2010 at 5:13 am #

      Brisk is the best

  18. jill 6 January 2010 at 3:04 pm #

    I honestly love all the seasons – summer is so nice to get out and be active in, spring comes around to remind us of how nice weather can be but fall and winter weather might top my list. A crisp fall evening at a high school football game or backyard bonfire or something like the from when I grew up in a small town does sound wonderful. I do L.O.V.E. being snowed in, though! Gimme a small blizzard, my kids, and a snow man… then an evening cuddled up next to the fire with my husband watching the snow fall = perfect!

  19. Jake Schwein 6 January 2010 at 3:06 pm #

    40-50 degrees…if it isn’t like that in Portland…it will be in my car as I crank the A/C all year round

    • Los 6 January 2010 at 4:06 pm #

      bring it.

    Maui Marriott..pool by the ocean, warm sun, mai tai, book, my husband.

  21. Whitney H 6 January 2010 at 3:56 pm #

    This is not a nice topic to be discussing when I’m huddled in my living room while it is dumping snow and getting ready to turn from a high of 18 to a high of 0 degrees! All I have to say is that this is NOT my perfect weather.

    • Los 6 January 2010 at 4:05 pm #

      wowCan I tell people Whitney Houston commented on my blog?

  22. Molly 6 January 2010 at 4:31 pm #

    ~75. low humidity (you can tell who lives in the midwest/south by adding this qualifier)
    ~deep blue sky
    ~maybe a few puffy “what am i” clouds
    ~fresh cut grass

    • Los 6 January 2010 at 4:48 pm #

      Ahhhh

    Blue sky, Green grass, a mountain, a river. My family and I having a picnic under the shade of an oak tree.
    But then, honestly, I’d get bored, then I’ll have to run after my son as he screams “I am running” and makes for the river, then my wife will berate me when I want to tweet it. lol

    • Los 7 January 2010 at 5:14 am #

      HA!

  25. Peggy 7 January 2010 at 7:45 am #

    80 degrees, Early summer evening, sitting out in my back yard, sipping a glass of wine with husband.

  26. g 7 January 2010 at 8:29 am #

    actually, i just had a perfect day… God spoke life and healing into a stranger’s life and mine at the same time when she asked, “God keeps me around but I dont know why?” and then God spoke to both of us through my mouth and said, “maybe he just wants you to love him back.” wow. why does God keep us around? maybe, just for the simplistic, beautiful idea that we would love him back. i am still mesmerized by a God who is that interested in me loving him…

  27. Heather 7 January 2010 at 11:51 am #

    perfect day…..

    Fall afternoon on the beach with a high of 68.
    And of course and day of summer in Miami!

    an early October day on Tybee Island GA

  29. kirk 7 January 2010 at 1:48 pm #

    deep gray sky letting loose with mist or a light rain, everything glistening with a sheen of wet, 40-50 degrees, either in the large front window of a local coffee joint or walking a small cobbled street filled with small and varied shops

  30. Graham 7 January 2010 at 3:00 pm #

    I love seasons. My perfect day is either super snowy and cold or super sunny and warm (not hot or humid). Chicago might change your mind about your perfect day… haha

  31. Jean Amico 8 January 2010 at 10:04 am #

    we moved away from the Chicago area (Woodstock) to AZ. My fav day is sunny and 60. That is our winter bliss. Yes, it gets cold here, too, and we get snow, but it goes away within the day.
