I don't know why people keep bringing up the weather. I moved from OK to CA because there was nothing to do in Oklahoma, especially for someone with a family.

I don't know why people keep bringing up the weather. I moved from OK to CA because there was nothing to do in Oklahoma, especially for someone with a family. There is an endless amount of things to do in California. I can drive a couple hours and ski, or 20 minutes and surf. Plus all the amusement parks, museums, amazing national parks, Mexico close by, and just what not. The weather was an unexpected bonus for me.
- jonny_eh 9y agoAll true, but for me the most unexpected surprised about living here (specifically the Bay Area) is the relative lack of mosquitos. Coming from Ontario, that is a huge change!
- rconti 9y agoIn general, not a ton of bugs on the west coast. I'm in SV now but grew up in the northwest, and every time I go elsewhere, there's a new unpleasant surprise. The last one was the northeast.. yeah, I know it's gonna be humid, but random downpour on an otherwise nice summer day, bugs everywhere, blah!
- eric_h 9y agoI always forget about what the mosquitos are like in Ontario until I visit my parents' house in the boonies up there in the summer time. I think that within a 10 km radius of my parents', there are at least 4 streets that are named "mosquito [lane,street,road]" and by god are they aptly named (in the summertime).
