In CA, you have to stay indoors for a while because of the poor air quality.

Maybe once or twice per decade is the AQ so bad in CA you have to stay indoors. As opposed to weeks or months every winter (depending on your tolerance - I hate cold).

We definitely had stay-inside days this year and last year, and I could have sworn we did the year before as well. That blew through your per-decade quota in recent consecutive years.

I fully expect we'll have some stay-inside days next year too.

But I do agree that the number of days the air quality is bad just does not come close to the number of days where it's really cold or really hot in other places.

The entire Western US is in the midst of a climate change-induced super drought that is worst in at least 1400 years, probably longer. The air quality is degrading due to huge swaths of the area being engulfed is wildfire. Perhaps your statement was true for the past few decades, but certainly not now. Its not a fluke, its the new normal.
