I grew up there. Winter in Calif means there's often heavy rain in November. Foggy and damp is a function of summer (temp difference between ocean air and land air). Summer heat and summer fires are much problem.
Of course, I've never had problem with boredom anywhere. Tina
Deluge.
I lived in LA for a decade, and the winter held some rains that rivaled the monsoons I saw in Thailand. Streets so full of water within a few minutes, the parked cars started floating away. Mudslides onto the Pacific Coast Highway that stopped traffic for hours, sometimes for days.
Someone I knew once got up out of bed in the middle of the night and wandered out to the living room. Before he could wonder "What's up with this? The bathroom, maybe ... but what the heck do I want in the living room at 3 AM??", the entire wing of the house that held his bedroom was washed down the hillside and rendered into a matchstick pile of rubble. The rest of the house, including the livingroom ... stayed put on the foundation. Weird, but true.

Its all relative... To us here in the midwest anyone not dealing with a few days of temps in the negative 30 range is getting off easy. On the east coast it seems that a couple feet of snow in a night is the test... so.. what does one have to put up with in california winters? Diana
