Edition Only in Your State Gathered a few sure signs that you live in Northern California.

1. Snow

In the region it almost never happens. And if the snowfall still happens, then everything looks great, but the snow never stays for a long time.

2. Almond milk

... or coconut milk or soy milk. Anything but cow's milk. Alternatives to dairy products in the region are more popular than dairy products themselves.

3. Banana slug

These animals have been seen and touched by most people in Northern California.

4. Clam soup in bread plate

When you're from Northern California, you simply have no right to not try this dish. Already from this very photo, Californians are drooling.

5. No valves on the filling pistols

In August, the state of California banned valves on refueling pistols, because reports that because of them drivers were splashing while refueling tanks. Refueling Northern California first to introduce change.

6. Artichokes

For a couple. Fried. Marinated. Residents of Northern California know how to cook them, and they definitely know how to eat them.

7. Six Flags Great America

This amusement park is remembered by those who could not afford to visit Disneyland, as well as the elderly residents of the region.

8. Gluten free

In Northern California, you eat gluten-free foods, you know someone who completely abandoned gluten, but probably still have no idea what gluten is and why it is better not to eat it.

9. “Hella” is strictly a local word

It replaces the words "very" or "really" in the region. Presumably this word originated in Oakland or Berkeley.

10. Reusable grocery bags

When going shopping, people in Northern California take their bags with them because the region is struggling with the distribution of plastic bags, and there is a tax on their use.

11. Movie stars

Yes, people in Northern California see a lot of them, but they don’t like being asked about it all the time.

12. San Francisco

Residents of Northern California never use the official name of San Francisco, going there, they just say they are going to the “city”.

13. They are tired of hearing about Los Angeles

Residents of other regions associate California with Los Angeles, and often talk about this state about whether they want to visit Los Angeles or have already been there. And this is very annoying to residents of Northern California.
