Nothing Like the Bypassed East

Carlsbad, California is the antithesis of the northern New England area of our country. Carlsbad is known for its sand, sun and warm ocean waters. On the other hand, New England is known for its lack of the aforementioned properties. Carlsbad and its surrounding areas have little to no forest while New England, once had extensive forests, was over-forested and now that has become a new second growth forest. New England has 40 to 60 inches of precipitation with a average midwinter temperature of 5 to 10F. Carlsbad has a typical Southern California Mediterranean like mild climate. Much of New England has rugged terrain and chilly ocean waters due to the Labrador Currents flows. On the contrary, Carlsbad draws thousands of swimmers and surfers each year to its warm and inviting beaches.
