100% AGREE WITH THE TWO PREVIOUS POSTS.
But the locals told me that the weather we experienced was not at all typical.

Overall, it looks like a nice climate other than in June/July/August and it CAN be cold in Dec/Jan/Feb.

For example:
In October, if we go then, average high is 72, average low is 51. If it sounds like I am selling something, I think I am.

740 miles one way from here - too far for me, but once I got there I was sure happy I was there.
I want to go back. And if "we" do, I will.
