Ted,

Don't you know that Kalifornians are wooses? It goes below 3 C and they think its the dawn of a new ice age!

Remember the famous Mark Twain quote: "The coldest winter I ever spent was my summer in San Francisco." Or Elmer's quote: "I was 16 before I knew what the word Summer meant."

And wasn't there a Frank Sinatra song about "California being cold and damp"?

You can't generalize about California weather. There are many days in the summer when California has both the high and low temperature for the US on the same day.

Dear Tejek:

Yes. The weather in Milwaukee or Minneapolis (I have relatives there) is quite cold in the winter. I remember that we were below freezing for 32 continuous days and 13 continuous days of that below zero (degrees F). It is said that the average winter in Lone Rock, Wisconsin is colder than Anchorage, Alaska. But, in the summer we can have days where it is over a hundred with 100% humidity. In Texas, if they get a dusting of snow, it is fender bender city.
