During winter storms, I might have drive an hour or two to hit different weather.
That's cool  I always thought I'd like CA weather

That is a major range! I'm not sure I'd like quite that much variety  .

You just have to get used to it. And as a college student it is hilarious watching southerners in colder weather. Winter (real winter, where it snows for days, wind chill below zero) is a bit of a shock to a lot of them. Or a blizzard, those suck. |

I'm sure it is -- I can imagine myself dealing with "real" winter -- it wouldn't be pretty. I might have to find a nice warm padded cell .

Also good. Even if we have some cold weather that doesn't mean we're stupid enough to go out in it without any padding. I would actually be much happier sitting inside, drinking a warm beverage (probably hot chocolate-I'm not a fan of coffee), and watching the field of white outside the window. |

LOL! I didn't mean that you'd just go sit in the snow -- my "padded cell" reference meant that I'd go crazy if there were too many days where you couldn't go outside . However, I do like to drink hot cocoa and watch snow (however rare it may be here).
