New England vs. PNW weather. Which do you prefer? Why? (snow, hot)

Title pretty much says it all.

Southern New England for more sunshine hours and proper summers and spring/summer thunderstorms > The coastal Pacific Northwest's gloom and non-summers where all rain is cold, mostly drizzly with no thunder.

The winters in both suck though.

Would I rather be sentenced to 20 years in a North Korean penal camp or win 100 dollars in a lottery? Difficult choice but I think the 100 dollars is a bit better

New England. Humid summers and thunderstorms.

I'll repeat it's the least thunderstorm-prone place east of the Rockies. Still better than the PNW

I don't like either, but being in the eastern half of the US is the lesser evil.

New England for a better variety in weather. Plus, I hate dry summers.

PNW hands down... nowhere in New England can match Brookings, OR for number of subtropical species grown...

[Cambium]

New England. Northern preferred.

Cold Blasts, snow, large diurnal ranges in Spring & Fall and the instability of not knowing whats next.

I believe less overcast days in New England as well. I experienced 190 hrs straight of no sun and I hated it.

Summers suck though in southern New Eng mostly.. Too hot and humid.

PNW easily. Nice summers and mild winters. NE has frigid winters and humid summers.
