I live in Palm Springs, winter is the good riding season around here. It's 95 today, but by the weekend it's supposed to drop to a frigid 70 for a daytime high. It does get pretty windy here in the winter, so fighting a headwind happens a lot. I was a bike messenger in Seattle for 10 years, it didn't really snow very often, but the 36 degree rain with the wind whipping in off the Puget Sound made for some rough days.
