I'm skipping this one also....I have way too much already
I did get an e-mail that they are bringing back some old favorites for a limited time.
As for N. CA....that's where I am from

S. F. doesn't get snow....maybe once every 10 years.....a dusting.
Not much ice problems either. I only remember scrapping windows a couple of times.
S. F. is cooler than the rest of the area because of the water on all sides.....lots of fog!
DS lives a bit south in Sunnyvale, so we go a couple times a year still. (Funny he moved (because of job) back where we moved from

).
VERY expensive area!!
