Snowy California

If you're interviewing potential roommates from other parts of the country, they may have grand expectations about California weather. Often, people envision nothing but blue skies, palm trees, and beaches. But on the contrary; even in California it rains, and in some places it snows. The Sierra's and Northern California get the most of the state's snow. While the amounts are typically less than one might expect on the East Coast, snowfalls can be significant. Prepare potential roommates for the realities of California weather.
