To give you an idea, the last time there was a Usenix in San Diego, we
had a Santa Ana for several weeks that ended on the weekend before the
conference.  During the conference the weather was chilly and miserably
wet.  So it goes.

For non-Californians:  The Santa Ana is a hot dry wind that blows in
from the desert to the east and turns winter into summer.  Without the
Santa Ana, San Diego can be just as cold and foggy as Santa Cruz or San
Francisco in the winter.  Even Santa Monica can fall prey to this...

Who do we have to pay to get a Santa Ana for Usenix?

PS -- San Diego fog is pretty worthless compared to Salt Lake's amazing
Pogonip (ice fog), which is far colder and uglier.
PPS -- On the other hand, to go skiing in San Diego you have to ride
behind a boat...
