Well said and I agree!
I also miss the different colors of Fall.

the fresh air....lightly scented with pine and salt air
the amazing tides in the Bay of Fundy
sea kayaking with the porpoises playing nearby
camping under millions of stars....and looking up at night and seeing them
northern lights
snow!!
summers that aren't too hot, and that cool down at night so you can sleep well and only a little humidity!
Boston Red Sox
the fall colors....the bright blue October sky....the smell of the leaves, and the sound they make walking through them and jumping in them
there's just not enough room to type out everything I love....

Things I LOVE (MISS) about the North
Driving over to Canada (in like 30 minutes)
Frankenmuth, Mackinaw Island, Traverse City ~ Michigan
Going to the UP
I miss the snow, but not the 20 below zero temperatures
Four real seasons
Cider Mills
Excellent Thai and Lebanese restaurants
Having all my childhood friends within a 20 minute drive of my house
Midwest humor
Being able to talk sarcasm and being understood
Getting outta the car to whip someone's a$$ when they cut you off (can't do that in the South
)

I love the authentic Italian food. Even upstate NY had wonderful Italian restaurants.
I'm thinking about opening up an Italian restaurant in Sarasota but I don't have the resources right now.
I also miss the no nonsense attitude. You know exactly where you stand. (Unfortunately that's not good when driving--I'm still working on that!)

I miss having a white christmas. I also miss how great everything smells in the spring when the ground thaws.

The color of the tress in the fall
Toronto and Niagara Falls (ironically when I was younger I could never understand why family would always come up and be excited about these places. But now I miss both)
Shopping
The ease of getting around in NYC
The variety of bakeries, and restaurants
3 wings and fries from the Asian restaurants
Loganberry juice
Haddock
square pizza
