As a foreigner I always think of California as the sunshine state (lower case - I know it's really the nickname for Florida) so is the song lyric true - "Hate California, it's cold and it's damp"?
California along with Oregon, Washington are three states that I can think of that have every weather and living condition you might think of here in the states. Desert, mountains, ocean front, farm land for miles, large cities, small towns, warm year round, freezing, raining, you name it, and those three states have quite a lot to offer.
