I don't mind it either way its just I like it to vary. I would hate it always being hot or cold all the time. Without the variety it would get boring.

I cant do this sherpa living man, this "layering up" and seeing the muddy ice on the curbside, and the almost heart stopping icy breathe with the chills down the spine, bone chilling. No way!

This is how I am.

And im from Upstate NY, hahahahaha.

My brother lives in Hawaii though, and we have family in California.

I will always be an East Coast fella, but by far my favorite times of year here are the summer. I used to love Florida growing up, and still do weather wise.

Upstate NY literally is just gloom for at LEAST half the year. Winter is guaranteed no sun for 3-4 months. Spring is cloudy and rainy and so is Fall. Its not worth it for 3/12 months to have great weather. Not by a long shot.

valentro if you aren't coping well with DC winter I can't imagine you in a Chicago winter. it's significantly colder, snowier and lasts a couple months longer of cold weather. better stick to Chicago in the summers. I'm pretty sick of cold weather myself and could use somewhere with somewhat milder winters but it does'nt have to be Miami hot.

Yeahhh only reason I put up with cold weather is because some interesting cities are located in the frostbelt (real US region, for real) otherwise forget this. New York specifically, if I lived there my plan would be to be outdoors 8 months of the year, for the cold 4 months just stay indoors as much as possible and use the cab for long hauls (because trains feel like fast moving ice boxes in winter). Same goes for Chicago and Toronto, another amazing city (or cities) worth living in.

Some people tell me this is one of the grossest winters ever in the Washington area, ohhh how lucky I am, to be spending my first winter in over a decade in this mess of a weather.

Due to this winter, I'm permanently crossing Boston off my list of "livable" for the size of the city, location, and whatever, it's not worth it for me.

oh if I were not in a major city it wouldn't even be a question.

LOL the average high three months of the year is below freezing in Minneapolis. The cold really is not that bad though. You just have to prepare for it. If you go outside wearing shorts in January on a day when you have -30F windchill, you are going to freeze and be miserable (possibly even get frostbite). If you just wear a few more layers and cover most of your exposed skin, it really is not that bad! You can only take so many layers off though.
