I actually wish it snowed here. Maybe it does in Northern California, but not here in So-Cal.
When my brother was on tour with a band they did the California dates and he said that his second favourite North American city is San Fransisco, with #1 going to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I've never been, but I think I would like it there. It's by the ocean, which is something that is extremely important to me now, and the climate. I do enjoy a noticeable change in the seasons.
