I didn't say it never rains here or never hits 100 degrees. It doesn't rain here often, when it does it isn't brutal, and it's not the huge storms I had growing up as a kid.
Where I live the annual average precipitation is 24 inches. Compared to where I grew up....
Clinton, NJ: 49 inches yearly
Miami: 60 inches yearly.
Seattle 52 inches yearly.
Houston: 47 inches yearly.
Snow? That's funny. It hasn't snowed here since I moved her five or six years ago. There might be snow up in Auburn tonight, up in the hills, but that's a bit north of us.
I'm not saying it never rains or never gets hot here. It does, obviously. But over all it's nice - we have seasons; It gets cold in the winter but never snows, it gets hot in the summer but only for a week at a time (unlike Phoenix). It never gets humid here, never a "dry heat" either. It's like LA but without the bullshit.
