Geography:
4. Describe the mountains of N.A.

I can answer that one. I am currently in Irvine CA for business. I reside in MA. This is my first trip to the West Coast.
The only description I can give of the mountains I've seen this week (between rain storms) is...Holy Crap!

I'll be taking lots of photos this weekend. (If I can tear myself away from The Irvine Spectrum.)

Reminds me of something years ago when I was in the LA Basin. Our office was in West Covina, it was late September and a new guy moved in from NY. One day he said:

"I don't see the issues here with the smog".

I pointed north and said: "You see those mountains over there (He could not because of the smog)."

He looked at me like I was crazy, I then commented, "Well let me know when you do."

A week later it rained and LA basin was crystal clear. His comment to me was the same as yours: "HOLY CRAP"

You are in LA at the best time of year, brisk, clear and there may be snow on the mountains (I am in SF, not LA). Under those conditions LA can be quite a sight.

I'm heading for the Spectrum soon. I must say I don't like this cold weather but this shall pass. What a great place to live here IMO.
