This may help explain the "bible belt"
Maybe I should move north. No, it would be stupid to move where it snows all of the time. Maybe the heat is not affecting me after all.
I used to live in Los Angeles. I moved north to the Portland/Vancouver area. At most we only get a few inches of snow on teh vqalley floor (elevation about 500-600 feet above sea level). The hiulls aroudn the valley get snow (about 1500 feet above sea leavel).
I am told back in the erly 20th century they used to get up tot six feet of snow on the valley floor. Climate changes have taken care of that.
On the down side it rains here more than six out of seven days from mid October through Mid March. Seattle is a bit worse rain wise and Eugene gets less rain, but more snow due to a higher elevation.
