lots of sunny days and you do adapt to the heat and humidity.
I think most people adapt to the heat and humidity, by staying in air conditioned houses, offices, and cars. Not really different from staying indoors in the winter in cold areas.
I would take what King John says with a grain of salt. His location says Senoia Ga, a place I am familiar with and not all that different then most of Mississippi. Anyway, Penn. Is in a whole other league in most every category.
Only a small portion of PA gets a lot of snow regularly. I live in the lower Susquehanna Valley and with the exception of an off year once in awhile we average about 30 inches of snow per winter. The lowest average high in winter is about 36 or 37 degrees. Hardly snowy, hardly frigid.
Let's see, 36 inches of snow per year vs 90% of Mississippi which receives no snow per year.
You know a lot of southerners haven't even seen snow before, imagine what they'd do if they received 3 feet every winter.

You think? In other words you don't live in the south and you haven't had a chance to try to adapt. The hot and sticky summers don't keep as many people inside as a cold and frigid winter will. People will still go to the park, go jogging, go bicycling, go to the beach, go to the water park, go to the lake, go boating, go play outside, go hunt, go do whatever.

Wrong, I have lived in the south, and most of what I saw in the months of July and August were people avoiding doing anything outside during the daytime, except for the diehards. There is a reason that the sunbelt growth took off in the latter half of the 20th century you know, the initials are A.C. It is also probably part of the reason that the growth tends to be suburban and auto-centric.

We here in snow country don't hibernate all winter either you know.
There are all kinds of things to do outside in the winter.

I think that's more true in places right on the coast (swimming, boating, etc.). However, places like Richmond VA, Raleigh NC, Atlanta GA, I'd prefer PA weather. I've been in VA for almost 7 years now, and I dread the summers. Now, I'd take it over a place like Syracuse NY, but most of PA doesn't get that type of snow.
Btw - Some people are very active in cold climates during the winters. Cross-country, sledding/tubing, running, etc.

The South doesn't have the same type of climate throughout the entire region. I have no clue why people think that.
Here in Atlanta, this summer was particularly mild. Highs never really got past 95 degrees and most days highs were in the mid- to upper 80's.

Hey, why do we have to go there? Besides, Oswego County is the reason behind the average and we know how to remove the snow in a timely manner.
Also, winters can actually vary up here in terms of snowfall and even temps.
