Most people have small ones becasue of the water limitation.
Every third or fourth house in our neighborhood has a pool. We are considered odd because we didn't want one and went for a house without one. We have a small back yard. But it is considered 'big' for urban So. Ca. But we like grass and it is cooler in the summer than concrete which surrounds the pools. Our next door neighbors to our left don't have a pool either. But the lady behind us and the neighbors who just moved into our right have one both have concrete or concrete and tile back yards. I think pools are more trouble than they are worth. Now, in So. Ca. we have to have a fence around the pool not just around the back yard. So when the lady who lives behind us sells her house she has to give the buyers an allowance for a fence.

In Los Angeles itself it doesn't snow really. We have had a few dusting probably 5 in the past one hundred years that melts as soon as it hits the ground.
It does now in the mountains not far from where we live. About 45 miles away. We can see the snow on the mountain tops during the winter. Last year it was a thrill to go out on our balcony during clear crisp days and see that!
Does it snow where you are?

Hehe, the question should be "Does it <b> rain </b> where you are ?" 
Nup, never snowed here (but i have been to Victoria (another state) and up in the Blue MOuntains it snows, and i have been there)
Quote "The driest State in the Driest Country" that is where i live, Summer is commin up so we get 45 degrees for weeks at a time not very nice!

not very nice!And it ices and (sometimes) snows in Dallas and north of here. I am from Houston and when I moved to Dallas a friend told me I needed to make sure I had covered parking -to avoid the HAIL destroying my car (convertible) 3-4 times each year. HAIL????? I lived in Houston most of my life. We have HURRICANES, NOT HAIL!!! CERTAINLY NOT SNOW!!! That first year was a new experience!
And we grow out (obviously) because we have so much land. I didn't particularly realise it until I was in middle school and was trying to tell a friend from New York I met over the summer about apartments. Ours are only 2 stories high, where as they build up - less land. I really hadn't considered it until then.
The pics of Sydney (from the Olympics) from the bridge were just fantastic. I doubt any photo could do it justice. Beautiful. And the people were so great. I don't know how the Australians feel about it, but the talk over here on the NBC stations was that, if Greece doesn't get its act in line ASAP, Sydney could have the Olympics again in four more years . . . I wonder if anyone in Australia was told that?
And the history about your Opera House was really wonderful - it was shown two or three times here. I think many people taped the special.
Sorry - didn't mean to butt in - I'm just fascinated by other people's countries and where they live.
Adios!

Texane, you are not butting in. I love to hear all this stuff, too. Started out in Vermont and ended in California. From one coast to another to say nothing of the change in language across the boarder! as well as the change in longitude!
Knew about the tornados but not about the hail! Enough to ruin a car? Whoa! That is bad news!
Where are you going for the snow?
