Anything over 85 and under say 30 is out of bounds if I have to be outside working for any length of time. I've worked outside in -20 drinking iced tea. But I was working and sweating. Now that was in a previous life back in the 20's before meeting a guy name Arthur. 75 days and 60 at night would not be over or under rated.

Considering everybody and their brother are moving to the sunbelt, I'd have to say that cold weather is underrated. Heat is freakishly loved too much.
At least the farther north I'll end up going, the less crowded it will be. |

This is true but the growing season is going to get shorter....Maybe that means the vacation season will be longer? |

Lived for 18 years in the hot, and hated every minute of it. Live now where we have all four seasons, and I enjoy every one of them, even the coldest part of the winter. Snow can be a pain to drive in, but I still love looking at it; I even enjoy shoveling it.
So I'd have to say that hot weather is enormously over-rated and that a good Midwestern winter is woefully under-rated. But don't let that stop the rest of you from moving south; you'll just leave more room for us winter-loving types up here!

Snow is definitely over-rated in my opinion. It's pretty on postcards, but that's it. They don't generally mention our area unless it's a raging snowstorm, but I have to laugh when they go on and on about a southern state having a few snowflakes.
Hurricanes can also be overrated. I don't mean the ones who are very powerful and dangerous, but some of the tropical storms that they talk about for days don't have any stronger winds then we have on a windy day up here.
