Some "weather"

you know you're living in a mild climate when "bad weather" (rain, wind, hail, snow, etc.) is described as just "weather".

Seriously. i was watching the news yesterday, and there were some scattered thunderstorms in the bay. the weatherperson said that we were having "some weather" over in the east bay.

"and we'll have a little bit of weather throughout the start of this week."

um.....correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't weather an "all the time" kind of thing? like, air or molecules or skin. or earth.

i guess when you live in a place that is used to beautiful weather that never really disrupts anyone's day, any aberration is "weather" and doesn't need an adjective?

in any case, despite the "weather", i stopped at an overlook on tuesday (on my way from my chiropractor's in marin cty to my office in sf, i have to take the gg bridge). it was windy and beautiful and fun. if only i'd had someone to take my picture....
