What February feels like

Across the bay, Marin and the Berkeley ridge hold emerald for a few weeks — the one season the region doesn't look tawny. The Chinese New Year parade fills Chinatown most Februaries, and it rains on it about as often as not.

Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 54° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
