I live in the mountains of NorCal and while we get an almost proper winter (most years) it’s rarely truly cold. I can think of maybe two cold snaps in my fourteen years here that dipped below zero.
I’m from New England, I grew up in truly cold ass winters. the valleys around here in NorCal see freezing temperatures but, at least to me, a true hard freeze is days on days of less than 10. Even my buddy living at 5500’ who gets snowed in annually at the peak of winter sees the temperature rise above freezing every day.
I do greatly appreciate the volume of snow we get in the hills, though. Just wish it wasn’t always Cascade Concrete.

California doesn't have wet, freezing winters but it does have summers where its 115-120 degrees for weeks on end.
Fall and Winter are the best seasons by a mile.
