Weather in Sacramento is pretty good. We don't get snow and the temperatures are pretty good year around. Summers can be pretty hot but otherwise there isn't much to complain about. The only time there is a worry is when a storm passes by with a lot of rain, local flooding due to clogged storm drains isn't uncommon. It's essential for me to have a raincoat/umbrella, a winter coat, and rainboots for winter/spring.
