Yes - laugh and scoff at us dummies for using a fireplace ... "Y'all"! Grow a pair and move out here to the desert where it sometimes gets up to 125 degrees ... and we have SCORPIONS!!! Then come back and tell us how "warm" 22 degrees is - or 70 degrees for that matter.

He/she can laugh at us for freezing in a 60 degree weather... I, for one, might even pay to see him/her MELT in 110 degrees.

Well, im looking forward to the move, in ky we get freezing winters and 100degree summers plus terrible humidity. Fall and spring are nice, but our kids have to stay inside 2 months of the summer and 3 months of the winter!

We live near the beach but it's still in the 30's many mornings. That's firewood weather. We save a bundle not using the heater as we get free firewood. There is a reason all the older poorly insulated homes have wood burning stoves. It gets into the teens inland. That ain't Colorado cold but it's still cold enough to kill you.

Also, it can get cold here as well. I'm 10 miles from Riverside and the mid-thirties aren't uncommon in Winter. The lowest I've seen was 26, with snow. I would have loved a fireplace then.
I lived in Riverside for twenty years. Spring it can go from the 3o's to the 80's between night and afternoon and start all over again. It can get cold enough in winter to freeze your plastic hose coupling and leave you with a surprise when it thaws. Of course, it can be 80 too.

Wait a minute. Except its more like 70 and the lows in the twenties (which Riverside has too sometimes) that's what the weather's been doing here in Oklahoma. So the weather gods pushed the wrong button on the weather central controller and gave us Riverside weather????

But to answer the question. Yes it can get really cold in Riverside. Its just the balance for the 100 plus in the summer.
