LOS ANGELES--Jan. 21, 2014: In recent days, the term "Polar Vortex" has entered the popular lexicon as a description for the frigid temperatures that have gripped the Midwest and parts of the Eastern U.S. The cold front has led to school and office closures, and even emergency road closures, inspiring countless people to shutter their doors and windows, and escape beneath the thickest woolen comforter they can find. Yet, for Californians, despite the calendar date, temperatures remain as balmy as a summer day – making this winter a perfect time to get on the road with a van rental from State Van.

State Van's 12 passenger van rental is perfect for large families, with ample space and ideal luxury. Meanwhile, their 15 passenger van rental serves as ideal transportation for large church groups, athletic teams or any other group of people looking for comfort and high-tech expertise on the open road.

Though Southern California has a reputation for bright sunny days all year, long-time residents of the Southland know that this isn't necessarily always the case. Winters in Los Angeles and surrounding regions can be chilly and rainy. In fact, L.A. normally receives an annual rainfall of 15 inches, with the vast majority of that often coming between the months of January and April. Yet, 2013 ended as one of the driest years on record, with a total rainfall tally of only 3.60 inches – the lowest level in 135 years.

Most climate experts are in agreement that winter 2014 is not likely to change course, with more dry days expected throughout the season. While the arid conditions don't pose much benefit for California's many agricultural workers, it would be a shame to see these sunny days go by without any benefit, and by taking a winter road trip in a State Van vehicle, you can make certain that they don't!

There's an old saying – "Never get upset about things you can't change" – and the weather certainly falls into that category. Thus, instead of fretting over a year of low rainfall, taking the family out for a weekend getaway in a first rate van rental might be the perfect way to enjoy fun and sun – even in the middle of January! The team at State Van is committed to one main goal – making sure every customer leaves fully satisfied. Their family-owned company focuses on variety and service, ensuring there will be a van for every need, and always in first-rate condition.

Even in the midst of a drought, it's impossible to deny that California is a beautiful state. Enjoy the region's world-renowned beauty and temperate conditions with a State Van rental, and make this a winter to remember.
