HA! I guess low to mid 60s is considered "cold weather" there. I wish that were so here in MD. LOL We're having temps in the high 40's/low-mid 50's and let's not even talk about at night (30's and even 20s a few nights). I actually have to warm my car up in the mornings now which I absolutely HATE. Ah well, I'll be over there in December or January so until then... I'm California dreaming!

That is completely right. The same is true for other areas that are influenced by a mountain range nearby.

I do like California weather. I would HATE your cold. LOL Thank God we don't usually get any colder than 57 during the day. Night times we might get down to 35 and that is cold. LOL. Of course we do get the Tule Fog which can cause the temp. to drop. UGG.
