What happens to what?  Different things happen in different places.  In Hawaii winters swells are up on the North shores, and it rains more.  In Colorado it snows.  But these are just weather items.  You could be referring to what happens to the sun, or cultural events.  So what are you asking?

Mild climate close to services.  Maybe around San Luis Obispo, CA.

Depends on where in California is your reference. Eastern California will have an earlier sunset time than Western California

I know, it is very weird. Here, in October, it snowed, but in November it is around 50 degrees.\n\nI once saw this bookmark when I was younger and it said that in the future it would be cold in July and hot in December. I believe it will be right...

Gotta love the NJ weather.  You never know what you are going to get, it's a craps shoot.  One winter we may not have snow till Feb and it will melt by the end of the week, another winter will start in October.  I've seen the thermometer at 30 degrees below 0 and 45 degrees above 0 in the same month, different years.  Generally winters are on the mild side, a few snowstorms, freezing every night and above freezing some times during the day to help melt the snow.  We do get big blizzards with up to two feet of snow sometimes, but that is the exception to the rule.

It depends on what time of year it is and whether it is winter and summer.

where i am was in the 50s today but it was raining a little bit, like drizzly and all. it's not that bad but i don't REALLY like it because it's just dreary and wet. but snow is a lot better. i love snow, and i don't mind the cold weather. i would much rather prefer it be cold enough to snow so it can ACTUALLY snow. i like going out in the snow, but not so much the rain. snow is better.

They say in New England that if you don't like the weather, wait a minute!  You are right.\n\n  Being along the coast there is often a marked temperature difference between the land and sea and that can fuel weather changes.  Low pressure systems often follow the coast with anti-clockwise rotating storms that bring in stormy weather from the sea to the land, often well inland.  Because the wind comes from the northeast, it can produce the famous (infamous?) northeaster storms bringing much snow in winter and rain at other times.

I lived all my life in Califronia.  I been to Texas, never been to NY and Florida.  We have 3 beuatiful cities, San Diego, LA, and San Francisco.  The weather is great year round.  We also have beaufiful deserts and mountains.  I love living in the west coast.

when the location that you live in is closes to the sun, that is when you have summer. when it's farthest away, then you have winter, and so forth and so on. also, you should probably know that when it is winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa.

In the Northern hemisphere, the "Winter" solstice is on December 21. It is the "Summer solstice that occurs on June 21st. In the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true.\nThe change in the amount of daylight is very small for the first few weeks, but as we approach the next solstice the change increases up to about 9 minutes a day.

Just came in from feeding the birds and my fingernails are blue.. brrrrrrr. Trade me places I hate winter. Actually its not to bad there is no snow on the ground and it was moderate for late winter yesterday.(light jacket weather) Today is supposed to be colder tho. Sometimes we get snow up until March.

I believe that you are referring to the fact that the earth's closest approach to the sun occurs in December/January, which are the coldest months.\n\nFirst of all, it may not be immediately obvious, but only the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter in December/January.\n\nSecondly, distance from the sun is by far not the main reason for differences in temperature on earth.  Rather, much more important is the tilt of the earth on its axis.\n\nWhen the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the solar radiation strikes earth at a more direct angle than when it is tilted away from the sun.  It just so happens that the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun in December/January, so this is when it is coldest, even though the earth is closer to the sun.

(m)\n\nThe difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. \n\nWhen we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. Today, children always hear stories from their parents and grandparents about how snow was always piled up to their waists as they trudged off to school. Children today in most areas of the country haven't experienced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in January 2005. The change in recent winter snows indicate that the climate has changed since their parents were young. \n\nIf summers seem hotter lately, then the recent climate may have changed. In various parts of the world, some people have even noticed that springtime comes earlier now than it did 30 years ago. An earlier springtime is indicative of a possible change in the climate. \n\naddition to long-term climate change, there are shorter term climate variations. This so-called climate variability can be represented by periodic or intermittent changes related to El Niño, La Niña, volcanic eruptions, or other changes in the Earth system

It doesn't really follow that winter occurs when the planet is furthest from the sun. If the planet's axis is tilted, then the coldest weather occurs when a particular hemisphere on the planet is turned away from the sun. In fact, in modern days Earth is at "Perihelion" (closest approach to the sun) about January 3, which is Winter in the northern hemisphere. It is furthest away (Aphelion) around July 4.\n\nOther planets will be closest and furthest away at various times, based on their orbital characteristics.
