March is such a cruel month in the north, one day it can be almost as warm as summer, the next day it's back to winter. We don't have any snow up here but the next week is going to be colder than we've seen all winter long. Brutal.

You do have consistent great weather for sure in Sunny Diego. But the one thing that I do like is the feeling of excitement that we get in the north when the weather begins to break. It's funny. Get a little sun and 50s and people break out shorts and tees. In mid summer that would feel so COLD. Hard to explain unless you experience it.

March snowstorms can often come out of nowhere without any warning other than a few hours in advance though. Good example that I remember is when I got married in March 2000, the week leading up to my wedding the weather was in the low 70s. But the day of my wedding, without any mention of it in the forecast, we ended up getting a half a foot of snow (this was my first wife, who I divorced from so maybe that storm was a warning of things to come!)

Own my Current '15 Z51 for 30 months now and 15 have been spent in winter storage. Yes, there have been a few warm days but the roads and potholes are bad and not worth ruining rims and tires.

Not fair to compare anywhere else in the US with San Diego - that is the best weather in the country.
At least this winter in the Northern US has not sucked nearly as bad as it has in some other years.
That is what passes as good news for people like me who have to hibernate their toys or watch them eaten by nasty chemicals.
I think mine will be hitting the road early this year to celebrate the mild winter.

Yes, OP, that weather, as they say, is a "bummer" !!
On the other hand most of the winter is behind you now, it won't be long.
When you get to be an old f*rt like me you can be a snowbird and spend you winters in the sunny south. Only problem with that is some days I'm sore and stiff enough that getting in and out of the beast becomes an issue..... always something
Oh, and by the way , they REALLY have done dozens

I feel for you...
And that is why I will never live north of the Mason Dixon line
In OKC, Bradford Pear trees were blooming, some flowers were starting to grow, and Bermuda grass was starting to grow three weeks ago. The Redbud trees bloomed this week. The joys of living in the south......
