How many times a year does it reach -20 here? once? twice? There are a lot of people out doing things in the winter.
great, but that wasn't the question. I never said that there weren't people out doing things in winter but asked you if as many people were out in winter as summer? and that's a yes or no answer.

really? I have an extremely hard time believing that considering how many large festivals and what not they hold in summer and how little outdoor events are in winter and from what people tell me all the time.
Some of you guys get so damn defensive about your cities when they are not even being put down or insulted. It's like some of you can't admit anything negative about your city
Nobody claimed it came to a "dead halt" but it does slow down and the atmosphere is different in those areas than in summer. People aren't outside doing things nearly as much as summer, so in that sense it seems like it slows down and is quieter. And the opposite is true with places like Phoenix and Miami, winter is high season and summer is low season.
No, I've lived here my whole life. Of course we won't be out in our swimming pools but NYC is ALWAYS hustling and bustling. The same people have to get to work in January that have to get to work in July, unless you're a teacher.

The east being the most populated region in the country has NOTHING to do with people's preference for humidity, give me a break. It's the oldest, developed part of the country and has been settled longer than any other region in the US. That might have something to do with it being the most populated rather than people's love of humidity. Just b/c people live with doesn't mean they love it or even like it, people from the east coast, midwest, and south constantly complain about the humidity and I'm sure you have at some point. I like a little humidity over dryness too but to each their own.
Buddy, it's 2008, am I right? How long have boxes and tape been around? How long have planes and moving trucks been around?
What's this "Texas (Four Defined Seasons)" -- Not true. Much of the state really only has winter and summer. No part of the state has a really proper spring and autumn. Has whoever cooked up this poll ever live in TX?
I chose the Gulf Coast because I can't get enough of the hot and humid weather. The Mid-Atlantic is a close second because thats the climate I was born and raised in and it has hot and humid weather too. Technically they both have the same climate, it stretches from NYC to the Texas/Mexican border (except South Florida).
I picked Hawaii since it's pleasant year-round but never extreme.
And I could live in 85 degree weather 365 days of the year.
