Yes California can definitely be diferernt.
Last January on the way back from Colorado, I found myself driving across
the Mojave desert (on the road near the airbase) with visibility down to
about 50 metres due to snow, with the truck in 4 wheel
drive............................
It never rains....................................NOT

I had a Scotsman's "California moment". In April 1995, my wife and I
were doing some tourism. We reached Death Valley and started to explore
it, by car. Morning and early afternoon of one day we saw a lot,
beautiful weather, albeit slightly cooler than we expected. About 1400
h, we went up to see the volcanic crater somewhere near the northern
end. It suddenly clouded over and, believe it or not, started to snow
and, when I mean snow, it snowed hard. Visibility was down to a few
metres. And it was settling. We gingerly made our way back down and
after a couple of km, we were back down into sheeting rain. Had to cross
a couple of fairly minor flash floods before we were back down into the
valley. We then went to our motel at Stovepipe Wells, passing the
Devil's Cornfield, in beautiful sunshine, again.
Not the weather we expected in Death Valley!!!
