Looks the same in the Bay Area. Or at least in my particular Bay Area Micro-climate - ten miles in any direction will change it radically, and depending on where you live you might only need to move a mile or in a few cases, a couple of blocks, to be in another climate zone. Reminds me of the old Firesign Theatre bit:
BABE: Let's see what they've got in this car.
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Quarter Mile..."
BABE: Let's see ...
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Eighth Mi... "
BABE: We've got lights, wipers, defrost ...
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Sixteenth Mi..."
BABE: ... temperature and Climate Control! Hummmm ...
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Thirty- Second Mi..."
BABE: Let's see what kind of climate' I can get ...
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Sixty-Fourth Mi..."
BABE: Winter Wonderland. Spring Fever ...
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth Mi ..."
BABE: ... Indian Summer ...
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Two Hundred and Fifty-Sixth Mi..."
BABE: . . . Tropical Paradise. Tropical Paradise.? I think I'll give it a try . . .
ROADSIGN: "Antelope Freeway One-Five Hundred and..."
SOUND: A click. The road sounds disappear, replaced by birds, wind, crickets and frogs.
BABE: Wow! What a groove! A Tropical Paradise!
SOUND: Clap of thunder. Rain begins to fall. Babe yawns as the rain continues. Ducks quack and distant thunder rolls. Babe yawns and then falls silent. As the rain dwindles off, there are the sounds off footsteps sloshing through mud.
