Watch me talk about The Today Show and Geography in the same paragraph!!

So I was awake early enough the other day to watch The Today Show, which is weird because I'm seriously never up that early. But on this particular day, I was. After endless segments of cute banter between Matt Lauer and that chick who was on The View and poorly done segue ways from war coverage to a Bobby Flay cooking demo, they finally got to the entire reason I was watching in the first place: the weather. I needed to know what it was supposed to be like outside that day in order to decide on what shoes to wear. This got me thinking about Geography. Later. I honestly wasn't thinking about it at the time, but in retrospect, I'm connecting this situation to Geography. The point is, according to the Koppen Classification system, Sacramento is in a Mesothermal area. This means that the average temperature in a cool period is above 26.6 degrees Fahrenheit and during warm periods, the average temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, according to an empirical classification system, Sacramento has a Mediterranean climate or a Dry Summer Subtropic, which makes a lot of sense, seeing as how we have pretty dry summers but it's humid sometimes, too. Anyway, the high that day ended up being 60 something. I wore flip flops. It was cold.
