having grown up in the North-East -
California is a different beast-
While our snow is usually only at elevation (>5,000ft)-
the weather near the coast (and in 50 miles or so) is close to idyllic.
No Hurricanes-
No Nor'Easters
Not a lot of days below 4 Degrees C
In Nor Cal, not many above 30 Degrees C
Yes, we have earthquakes - but, no warning, and it is over in less than 1 minute - if you are still standing you're on the road to recovery (as opposed to Tornados or Hurricanes....)
Yes, we have droughts occasionally, but seems like everyone will get to learn about that soon!
Fire is part of our landscape
adapt
It sucks, and the fires that we have are monsters!
Hopefully we are learning -
But that is an uphill battle, every day
Happy Listening
