you definitely don't need "winter" weather. here in CA, we rarely get rain, nevermind snow, so cross is a dry, hot, dusty sport!
I'll echo what others have said: "go for it! cross is a blast and it's a super-beginner-friendly sport!"

Heck - even here in the Northeast, we didn't have winter during 'cross season last year. In fact, I remember MAYBE two muddy races all season....
Enjoy - 'cross is the most fun you can possibly have on a bike!

So, you don't need winter. But we don't have any events that I've found, either. I looked at the calendar on cyclocrossworld.com. Nothing even near here. Oh well. There is a crit nearby coming up in September, but I'll be in Vermont.
I would love to just go and watch some of these things. I'll try to get more plugged in.
Thanks,
Karen

Florida has a series
I"m in Florida and we have a couple of series here. It was my first year racing here in Florida last "fall", it was really strange to be racing cyclocross in 85 degree and sunny weather. Strange but nice! I hate being cold. Georgia has a series to, that's where I've raced before, but Georgia does get chilly in the fall
