One big diciding factor for me would be driving. I've never been more scared then driving in heavy snow and ice, not being able to see more then 10 feet in front of you.
After spending the last 29 years driving every single winter, all winter from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan to Caribou, Maine; I can count on one hand the number of times I have not been able to see more than 10 feet in front of my vehicle. RARE! Sure there may be a couple of seconds if a gust of wind blows some snow across the road the visibility drops to almost nothing, but that lasts for seconds, and if you don't have good enough control over your vehicle that a couple of seconds is going to put you in the ditch, you shouldn't be driving anywhere, let alone in a snow storm.
I go with a northern winter. Maybe not like Fargo, but I definitely like the cooler weather. To me there's nothing more unpleasant than an 85+ degree day with high humidity, where you have to change shirts after just walking a hundred yards. Or feeling the heat blast as you get into your car that's been sitting out. Ugh.

Hrmmm as a recent west coast transplant from 6 months in Florida, the heat isn't the issue...it is the humidity... heck it was around 100 inland California last weekend... I thought it felt about like low 80s in Florida... serious.

I know what you mean. I have been to Dallas,TX and 100 degreesF in Dallas,TX was more bearable to me than 85 degreesF in Atlanta.
