<p>Im living in Chico, CA which is in northern california.</p>
<p>"However there are some good things about winter: warm comforters, hot chocolate, skiing, snowball fight, "controlled" driving craziness"</p>
<p>for me, those things are a two hour drive north. sweet.</p>
<p>cold weather makes me feel sluggish and wanting to curl up until I'm not cold anymore. guess I've become acclimated to warm weather.</p>
<p>(yeah, Arizona isn't the west coast, but everyone here acts as though it is... guess I've become acclimated to that too.)</p>
<p>shagpin: what the heck? its raining right now where u live? here (1.5h south of LA) its 70ish sunny as hell</p>
<p>California is a very large state, The_Who. Not everyone has your wheather. Norcal and Socal are almost completly diferent states.</p>
