Where is the sun?

I once thought I would like to retire to Oregon or Washington but now I know I can't do that. Los Angeles suffers during May and June from what we call a thick marine layer that spreads across the entire basin. Living at the beach, as I do, I get it all day long, day after day, the wet, grey, misty, fog. I don't do well during these months. I long for sunshine, warmth and blue skies. Here it is, only one month into our Gray May and weeks to go before we're out of June Gloom, and my mood is, shall we say, less than sunny? I'm taking Oregon and Washington off of my list for retirement locations. Perhaps I should take a closer look at Colorado? I hear they have more sunny days than California.
