With the winter season fast approaching, there are plenty of good reasons not to visit SoCal this winter. Here are some of the reasons we are planning to stay away from Southern California as long as possible.

1. You'll definitely have to invest in a heavy winter coat.

With all the layers you have to wear to stay nice and warm, you may have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe.
2. If you're seeking a wildlife spotting over the winter season you may be out of luck.

As December approaches it's like a ghost town around here. You won't even find a single bird in the sky.
3. You better plan on staying home until the weather warms up as no one even steps outside during the winter in Southern California.

4. The weather is so unpredictable in SoCal. You never know what you might get so always be prepared for a winter storm.

And no need to wear your sunglasses as it's just grey and gloomy outside without a ray of sunshine all season long.
5. When a cold front does roll in, all of that snow is just so ugly.

You may even decide to leave your camera at home because there's nothing worth photographing.
