> it's easy for one to lose track of time month after month, and the years sometimes just seem to run together as a result. I grew up with four distinct seasons and found this to be the case living in the Bay Area as well. There are a lot of microclimates on the coast and so experiences can vary, but I moved there on the tail end of an El Nino, which was one sort of season, and then experienced some other season for many years.
