It's the perfect time to test. Less civilians to hit, winter weather, still good data to use.


"winter weather" is a stretch


Heh I mean SF winter. So you know, slightly cloudy with a bit of water on the ground sometimes.


The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.



A SF native, are you?


A solid competitor for the stupidest quote of all time. Even winter in San Francisco is massively warmer than basically anywhere in my home country. Summer is absolutely baking.


Certainly not. The average summer day in San Francisco is foggy, windy and cold. Coat weather all year.

Actually nice (>80F, sunny) days in San Francisco are rare.

"Baking" days, are more like once in a decade.


> Summer is absolutely baking.

No it isn't? The average July daily high in SF is 67 degrees. That's absurdly cold for summer, there's basically nowhere south of Alaska in the Northern Hemisphere that stays that cold in July.


There isn't a single SF climate. It changes radically between, say, the Financial District and the Sunset.

Similar here in Menlo Park. We are near Willow and 101, where the temp can easily be 10 degrees cooler in the summer than it is just a couple of miles away in downtown.


Not really relevant to the extreme stupidity of the quote. In a cold winter, it would snow.


Do you guys really not understand the concept of humorous hyperbole. At first I thought you were the same commenter who posted above but apparently there are two of you!


- Oscar Wilde


I always heard it attributed to Mark Twain


The Twain quote comes up every time people talk about SF weather, figured I might poke fun at it at the price of some karma


Or Keith Hernandez if you ever watched a Mets broadcast while they were playing the Giants.
