Yes, it was.  However two points bear mentioning:
1) The temperature in SF proper is almost always 10 to 25F colder than 
the southern and eastern suburbs, especially in the summer.  I remember 
quite a few days last summer when it was in the 90sF where i live, and 
in the 70sF in SF.  This is due to both the fact that the city is 
surrounded on 3 sides by water, and the fog that covers it for about 15 
hours/day.
2) The warmest winter i've ever had was the winter i've lived in the bay 
area.  Spending my entire life living somewhere in the northeastern USA, 
it was a true pleasure not to see any snow all winter long.
