I don't know what winters in CA look like exactly as I've never been there (probably depends where in CA too, it's a big place), but I lived in the tropics for a few years and I kind of missed European winters. Being too cold isn't brilliant, but being too hot isn't either. I like the alternation between things – kinda breaks stuff up. Also some food or drinks somehow never taste quite the same in hot temperatures. Red wine is a good example.
