So you know.
I could never walk away from this weather. I'm just too dang spoiled. I've spent time in other countries and states, and was cold and wet, or baking with brutal humidity all the time. Mad me angry.
As you know, even our deserts and mountains in So. Cal have relatively nice year round weather, as they too are influenced by the great pacific and our latitude.
Oh, and I too am a California native.
Take care....
