It's well on the way to spring here, but "nice weather" depends on what you consider nice. Here spring and summer = big storms. Some consider weather that has a likelihood of tornadoes, strong winds, and hail to be bad.
Its been nice here for a few days, about 55 so the snow is actually melting, woohoo! Supposed to rain for the next few days, as long as it doesnt snow Im happy!
Here in OC, California, we have almost nothing BUT nice weahter. We dont get snow. We only have a month or two of rain. When it gets below 60 degrees, we say its cold.
One of the only things I dont like about our weather is that durring the summer we get alot of days that are close to or above 100 degrees. And since we only get rain durring the winter, there isnt any rain to help with the heat. Most of our summers are spent in a drought.
It was 94 here today and we broke a record for the date.

Statement as of 5:45 PM PDT on April 12, 2008
... Record high temperature set at Modesto and tied at Sacramento
Executive Airport and Stockton Airport...
A strong high pressure ridge now over the western United States has
produced record high temperatures across interior northern
California this afternoon. Records were tied or broken at several
airports in the southern Sacramento Valley and the northern San
Joaquin Valley this afternoon.
A record high temperature of 87 degrees was set at Sacramento
Executive Airport today. This ties the old record of 87 set in 1990.
The high at the downtown Sacramento station reached 88... but was one
degree shy of the record of 89... last set in 1990.
The high temperature of 89 degrees at Stockton Airport today ties
the old record of 89 set in 1977.
The afternoon high temperature of 92 degrees at Modesto breaks
the old record of 91 set in 1962.
Another warm day is on tap for Sunday... before a cooling trend moves
in on Monday.
I live in Northern CA and not far enough inland to be the Central Valley, but it was hot today. The forecast was for high 70s, but the car thermometer read 90 in the shade. First day of air conditioning for us.
In the summer/fall we usually get one or two weeks of 100s. (maybe 3). In SF, the fog makes it much cooler. For every mile you go east from SF you gain a degree, so 60 in SF is 87 where we live.
