While I agree with the idea of geographical specifics, unless you live in the neighbourhood, I'm not sure one can figure out the local climate. For example, while it may be sunny in Vancouver, it rains in Fraser Valley, and this is only an hour of drive.

I remember once having my car stuck in the snow and two strangers helping me to push it - because I was blocking their way. Anyway, when I've got to Vancouver (40 min by transit) - there was not a single flake on the ground, it was even dry! So... go figure!

Climate and weather are not the same things. Climate takes hundreds of years to change, but weather can change daily.
