Here in Amador County you can find quite a spread of climate zones. From Camanche area of Ione, in the lower, warmer, edge of the valley through the hills communities like Sutter Greek and Jackson with more trees and a bit cooler weather, on up to the mountains above Pioneer, covered in majestic pines. Here is some of the dry numbers; they don’t do that good of a job of showing the different areas. You should come out to visit to get a real feel for the differences.
