Mike,
this may come as a surprise to you, but I have seen -40 degrees F in
California!
While it is true that most of California has a mild climate, the mountains
can get quite cold and we get MORE snow depth than most of the test of the
nation due to all the moisture in the storms coming in off the Pacific.
