12 to 15" annual precipitation, so it's not England. The eastern part is 
in the rain shadow of the Rockies and is a lot drier.  The northwest part 
is much wetter. 

Last winter had almost no snow in the valley. My Nordic ski gear is 
ancient but I've never updated it. Without driving to higher elevations 
conditions are usually poor. 

Elevation is the real factor. Often in the winter you can look around and 
see a bathtub ring at 5000 to 6000'. That's reflected by mostly shortgrass 
prairie below the snow line and trees above. The snow pack in the 
mountains is watched closely since it's the spring melt that feeds the 
rivers. Crops (and lawns) are irrigated and there isn't that much 
naturally moist soil.  

Poison ivy is the same. The only patch I know of within 50 miles is on a 
riverbank under a bridge that keeps the soil moist. I don't think you have 
the pleasure of poison ivy. It certainly isn't one of the New World plants 
that needed to be taken back to Europe.
