That shift in temperature got me sick and apparently a bunch of other people too from my FB feed.

Btw how'd you get your unlock screen like that?

I'll take snow over 83 deg. It's not like it snows all year.

Mid 60's or so please.

I'll look forward to your follow-up thread in 8 months: Everything is dying and we're not allowed to bathe, but it's all worth it for those 12 extra weeks I got to run my air conditioner.

Best winter is Wisconsin IMO, great snowmobiling, and generally temperatures stay quite tolerable if you wear winter gear.

The Southern California climate sounds too much like deserts over where great folks like jlee survive amongst cacti in inhospitable hellscapes!

That's Arizona/New Mexico. We got palm trees, beaches, and blondes.

Yea, lived in San Diego for over 25 years.

I like being in Boulder and having cold and snow. And not running the house AC this summer was great.

So you can take SoCal weather and stuff it.

Yea, but my main focus is on the temperature.
Northern California might be perfect awesome weather, but my understanding is that Sothern California sees 90+ for like 6 months of the year. Any time its more than like 81 deg f. Its an inhospitable hellscape to me. Chicago is an inhospitable hellscape most of the time June through Sept.

I don't think it's that big of a percentage (50%), but yeah I'd prefer being too cold than too hot. Can always put more clothes on, can't always take more clothes off ;)

Just because there are beaches doesn't mean it's not nearly a desert. You do realize that palm trees have very low water requirements, right? Look at photos of Saudi Arabia.

This. 80s in January would make me angry. I was outside all day. 20F with 20mph winds. It was fine January weather. Have a fire going now, and I'm about to pour a glass of Ardbeg. Life doesn't get too much better than that.

Still doesn't make it a desert. It has a Mediterranean climate..unless you're living out in Death Valley.

I would love to visit Southern California this time of year. Just would want to avoid between like April an October. Sort of like New Orleans, come for nice weather late fall, winter, or early spring, but avoid the stifling oppressiveness of unendurable extreme incalescence!

Considering it's 6 right now, and expected to hit -8 tonight, I really wouldn't mind a month or two in Del Mar instead of Columbus.

lol, this is what southern Californians like to believe, ignoring all the water they have to import from out of state. Spain, Greece, Italy, etc have Mediterranean climates. You do not.
