I'm not a cold lover, I'm a heat hater. Actually, most of the Northeast gets too hot for my taste in the summer, too. But the pictures don't usually "look" hot. I also simply don't find brown, arid landscapes visually attractive. They might be interesting, but I don't see those pictures and think, "Wow, I'd really like to be there!"
I don't disagree. I too have a preference for more lush and cool colored settings.
Some of these Texas landscapes do look rather thirsty, but beautiful nonetheless.

Marshland is different up north, but it's there. Especially around the northern Finger Lakes and wide valleys.
Upstate NY does have plains. The Ontario plains. Where the Appalachian hills end the Ontario plains begin.

Whether it's your taste or not, it's hard to deny that this isn't absolutely beautiful.
