I know most of the US. Lived in Ann Arbor Mi for a couple of years as a teen while my dad was a GM partner. Then back to Baires to public college (back then up to par with MIT or University of Bologna in Italy) and then back for grad school to SF. Travelled too much, was about time I settled down
SoCal weather reminds me of northern Argentina/south of Brazil. Humid, sticky and never really cold. While the beautiful south of the US is a wonderful weather. I hope you never come here, our weather is very much like SF but more humid. We also never get snow although it can get VERY cold. This is my favorite time of the year, days getting longer, sunnier, not much drier but more enjoyable!
