Most people don't like Minnesota winters because they suck, dude. And the fact that Seattle blows Minneapolis out of the water in this poll shows that people would rather be damp and dreary, versus freezing.

Accept and move on.

I've always been fascinated by the weather in Sequim/Port Townsend due to being located in the "Rain Shadow." It's a noticeably dry spot within Western Washington.

But they are cooler in the summer.

The difference is Minnesotans can embrace the fact that winter is cold and the weather "sucks, dude", but you're in denial. 64 and sunny would be amazing for an average winter day, but that's not an average winter day for Seattle. The record high temp in Minneapolis in February is 64, and 70 for Seattle. There's some perspective on that.

Let's say it another way - the winter in Minnesota sucks, but the winter in Seattle sucks much less.

Minneapolis, easily for me.

Seattle's winters aren't that bad.

Lol.. if you've ever lived in Seattle, you would know that it is actually quite "normal" for it to be over 55 in the winter, with a mix of clouds and sun-breaks

It happens every year in February. Last year it even happened in January.
