personally id rather the opportunity to do activities outside in the summer than being cooped up inside in the winter. that would just be depressing. sure it gets hot in Houston, but you just jump in the pool to cool off after sweating in the heat. and when you get out you usually feel refreshed and up for round 2 of outdoor activities.. i guess in Chicago you can jump in a hot tub after a cold winter day, but getting out of the warm water is brutal and all you're thinking of is how quickly you can get back inside to warm up next to a fire.
Nah, it's not really like that for people who are used to it/enjoy it. After a rigourous day having fun outside in the snow you go back in and strip down to cool off.

I don't know if you ever been to Chicago in the winter. But this is false. People are out on the streets in the middle of January just like they are out in the street now.
with an average high below freezing, and an average low in the teens, no, i haven't spent January in Chicago. not for me.. don't get me wrong, i love snow, but id rather enjoy it in short spurts while on vacation. its almost impossible to text/do anything with your fingers after being outside in weather anywhere near Chicagos low temps. i remember having trouble texting in Waco during the winter..

Huh? They made gloves to solve this problem years ago.

Every pair of gloves I've ever used make it impossible to use a touch screen.. Or easily get car keys out of your pocket to unlock your door/any other fine detail hand/finger movements.
I live in a similar climate, there are a few tough days to endure but
much better than living in a steam bath for 5 months straight.
