Thank you one and all for the effort here. I originally expected about 5 replies, so I am somewhat surprised by the volume of discussion I generated with the original post. I am not complaining at all, just surprised and a bit gratified by willingness to consider suggestions from "newbies".

Also, you may be a newbie to the WiF game, and to the MWiF Forums, you look like you're not a newbie in knowledge of California (39 year old California native), so I jumped on the occasion to stir up the reactions of the others of your kind on that issue. Your opinion was precious, and as it went in exactly the same direction as the opinion of the rest of the other California native, this made us found a solution.

I am glad that you have that attitude. I have been involved with other forums (not, I hasten to add, Matrix Games), where the longevity on the forum is the sole criteria for judgement of the worth of contributers. It happens, and I am glad when I find a place it does not.

There are some places in So Cal that get snow, but they are the higher elevation ones.

The "Grapevine", a stretch of highway that leads north out of L.A., goes over the Tejon Pass, and was paved before WW2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridge_Route It gets "snowed in" every winter, and ground traffic may be halted for several days while they plow it.

The Cajon Pass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajon_Pass also suffers from this problem. This connects the San Bernadino area to the "high desert" areas to the north and north east.

Game wise, I guess it doesn't have much effect. Your call. If forced to pick, the "Med Zone" climate is better than the North Temperate one, for game play purposes.

Heh.

Here is what the map looks like after changing most of California to Med weather.

Azure - NT - North Temperate
Orange - MD - Mediterranean
Gray - AR - Arctic
Green - NM - North Monsoon

I think the part of Baja California and the golf shown all ought to be Mediterranean.

Looking at the map, I'd question whether SF is Med or N Temp. That place gets cold. I'll leave it to the experts. Just my two cents.

Believe it or not, the temperature in "the City" (what, there's more than 1?

) is quite mild. If the City gets a week of hard frost, it is an unusually cold winter. The whole "coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in SF" feeling is a combination of wind chill and damp from the fog.

I looked on weatherbase.com to get some actual numbers, and I found the record low for the 72-year temperature record is 27 F (approximately -3 C). Average January low temperature is 46 F.

Not fair, we had -3 C two nights ago...

Yeah, the climate near San Francisco is very pleasant. It's one of the reasons real estate in the SF Bay Area is insanely expensive. If my sympathy means anything to you, you do have it.
