And Tennessee, let's not forget Tennessee. Besides Memphis, doesn't get the scorching, humid summers like Atlanta (lived there for years so I know of what I speak) but still gets a fairly mild winter, with a bit of snow and moderate temperatures.Originally Posted by gnatty8
Ooops. My bad. I haven't spent much time in Tennessee, so it doesn't come to mind as readily as the other states. The bit of time I did spend there, however, left me impressed. It's really pretty, especially in the mountains.

I enjoy all seasons, including winter.
I love the skiing, ice skating in the park, fresh and untouched powdery snow, sliding around in an empty parking lot, hot soup or chocolate when coming in from the cold outdoors, putting on a well fitting overcoat with gloves and a scarf, fireplace running while the snow is falling and hell, I don't even mind shoveling the snow.
The higher taxes aren't too bad since I make appreciably more here than I would anywhere in the "south". The shopping and "culture" ain't too bad in NYC either.
I like visiting the south, I just don't think I could live there.

i live in a city with long dry summers and short wet winters.
the one thing ive noticed from going to places like Norway and Canada is people take much more advtange of the outdoors. When the weather is good they are hiking, mountain biking. When the weather is cold they are skiing etc.
Where i live the weather is mostly fine and BBQ'ing is the main outdoors activity.

Why the hell do you live up North? For f**k's sake - the miserable snow, havng to buy all that gear, having to stay inside most of the winter, having to put on six layers when you go out. Who the hell volunteers to live like that AND pay more taxes than the rest of the country? Do you just get used to the cold, or is it a deal where that's all you know? I spent a year in MT and North Dakota and I loved the (brief) summer. But when October/November hit, I couldn't believe people lived like that. When January came, I fully realized why everyone up there drank their faces off. There's nothing else to do in the wintertime. It's 54 degrees here in Florida and I have the space heater on.Originally Posted by FLMountainMan

You all loose. Bay Area weather, the East Bay to be exact, pretty much kills. Sunny today but with a slight bit of chill. Enough to make it a season but not enough to actually suck or anything. Plenty of rain, lots of sunshine, most days between high sixties to high eighties, no humidity, a little fog here and there. Perfect.
