Yes. To me, it's winter until I see a whole week of highs over 85, which means it's winter until mid-May here in California. Also, I consider the summer here to be only about a month long. 

(I grew up in Dubai. Most years, the overnight lows in the coldest part of winter are around 60 there.)

You must be northern CA. I have relatives in southern CA, and it is never really cold there and very hot in the Summer.  

Sacramento, which is just as hot as Southern California in the summers with temperatures peaking around 105. The winters are about 10 degrees colder than SoCal. I lived in the Los Angeles area for 10 years before moving to Sacramento, and I thought it was winter from November through April there too. Also, to me even Southern California only has six weeks of summer.

Dubai gets close to 130 degrees almost every summer, with heat index ("feels like" temperature) reaching 160. It's Arizona heat with Texas humidity. And that's why my perspective may be a little skewed. I think 100 degrees is great weather for outdoor sports, and 65 is barely tolerable, so everywhere in the US except Hawaii gets too cold in the winters, and Sacramento is about the coldest place I'm willing to live. I'm happiest with daytime temperatures in the 90s, which is March or April weather in Dubai.

So, yeah, I'm going back under the blankets.
