it took a while to get used to the change. I had saved all my winter gear and taken it to CA because I always dreamed of going to the snowy mountains. Unfortunately I gave them all away 6 months before I decided to move back "home". I really missed the snow. Once when my kids were small and had not experienced snow a truck was parked in the mall and covered with snow. I took some of it off the truck so my kids could make a snowman! Another time Santa Barbara brought the snow to the park-it was not quite the same as it was giant ice shaving machine that blew little flakes around, but watching all the kids play in it was great. Luckily our winters here are relatively lacking in the snow and it does get below zero but not too often. This past winter I wore mostly fleece jackets and my winter coat about a dozen times. Christmas without snow spent on the beach, I don't know, but that was the only day I really missed the snow.
