Not surprising really when you consider that it has very similar winter temperatures to Torquay! Theoretically, you could host a Winter Olympics in Los Angeles if the outdoor events were undertaken in the San Gabriel/Bernadino mountains.

A more relevant figure would be the temperatures in Rosa Khutor during the games - the place where all the outdoor sports were played.
