Honestly, I don't think you will find a native Southerner who really cares about the weather in NY. In addition, the people from the NE here now know what they moved from and I've not run into many in the last 30 years who wish to return to the snow & ice.
I do think there are plenty from the NE however that moved to CLT looking for the promised land, seeing greener grass, did it because everyone else was doing it, and/or thought that moving would solve their issues, marriages, whatever. Once reality caught up with them, they now blame the weather because it didn't turn out as they expected and the weather is an easy excuse for returning to the places they came from
Anyone else here who would move for the weather, would head West.
Not everyone is complaining about the weather, I think we all realize that..just had to throw that in there.
Some actually don't think the summer is much different except longer in duration. I gladly will take a month or two longer of heat to enjoy the MORE FREQUENT sunny days in the winter/late fall (and the LONGER daylight hours...) Its that darkness thing, ya know.....frequent cloudy days makes one depressed (which the closer you go to the major metros up north, the cloudier the days are in the winter because of clouds and squalls from lake ontario.....)

For me, summer's about the same, in all respects, but spring comes a bit earlier.

Love cloudy cool days! Best kind of weather...not to bust your theory but the Lakes have VERY LITTLE to do with cloud cover in the major metros..there are MANY sunny days in the north in winter.
Now Buffalo or Rochester or Syracuse...yes mostly cloudy days..

Not so. Lake effect has a HUGE influence not just on the cities close to hte lakes, but also cities like NYC and Phily. Whenever a STRONG cold front comes through in the winter, you typically get alot of lake effect clouds (down as far south as the delmarva)
Many times the precip (ie Lake effect snows) only goes as far down as say Binghamton or NW NJ, but the lingering clouds are a huge factor for much of the northeast. That's typically why you add to the more frequent cloudy days......
Only when those strong NNW winds die down is when things usually start to "clear" out.

It has VERY MINIMAL effect on the NY city area Jack..i lived there...I know. Yes some clouds make it down but precip is very rare and honestly all the metros actually have high sunny day ratios in winter. What do think its the frozen tundra up there? When we have north northwest winds it CLEAR...you are way off here.

I remember back in the day Binghamton being the 2nd most overcast city in the country behind Seattle. Probably exactly what you're talking about here.

Sorry, Jack, but lake effect has zero effect in Philly. It can wreak havoc out further, but not in town. 9o% of all snow when I was in South Jersey came up from the Carolinas. The weather reports track it. Occasionally something that sneaks through the mountains in WVA turns up & gets mostly the western suburbs of Philly. Snow in South Jersey is always up in the air. It's never absolute until it hits Wilmington, DE.

I think you are thinking about western PA.....Pittsburgh is the pitts! My best half lived in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and the later was down right depressing.
Hopefully with all this rains, the heats will cools downs.
