And I'll take the much more consistent climate of Southern California over both of those temperatures. Even with the smog, traffic, and outrageous housing costs.

So what's the weather like in Flagstaff this time of year, oh voice-of-experience?

Freakin' nasty.

It isn't the air temp that kills you - you'll have days where the temp stays below 20 for the high, but it's typically in the 30s or 40s - it's the flippin wind blowing off the San Francisco peaks, causing wind chills to dip well below 0. Ick.

Edited to add: I just decided to check the weather there. Brrr....lows are within a couple degrees of zero in the forecast. Add the wind to that....wow. That sucks.

Man I miss seasons. But if I had to live somewhere without them, I'd take Seattle autumn on a permanent basis over Los Angeles at any time of the year. I'm definitely retiring northward.

But a couple months of weather that lets you know the world hates us is life affirming.

My aren't we people different.

I enjoyed experiencing 3 of the seasons in Boston.
Winter and I didn't bond.

Southern California has seasons:

Fire
Flood/mudslide
Earthquake
Riot
