The winters in Richmond are nothing like the North. And the South can get pretty cold.
Out in Houston, Id imagine its dryer and less hot and humid than Richmond.
Moderator cut: off topic Houston's climate is more hot, and humid than Florida. It gets at least 100 days a year above 90 degrees, and in the summer its not uncommon to have a 90% humidity factor. It is very humid in southeast Texas.
Richmonds climate is not much warmer than south coastal New Jersey.
Wow your southern education is really showing now. Houston's climate is more hot, and humid than Florida. It gets at least 100 days a year above 90 degrees, and in the summer its not uncommon to have a 90% humidity factor. It is very humid in southeast Texas.

Hey richmonder..... did you know that Richmond ranked as the 9th most dangerous city in America in 2004? It ranked 12th in 2005
So aside from having cold northern winters, and being a dirty rundown city..... its also a crime capital.
Heres the article:
During the crime wave of the late 80's into the early 90's the city had experienced a spike in overall crime, in particular the city’s murder rate. The city had experienced 93 murders for the year of 1985, with a murder rate of 41.9 killings committed per 100,000 residents. Within a 10 year period, the city saw a major increase in total homicides. In 1990 the city experienced 114 murders, given a murder rate of 56.1 killings per 100,000 residents. There were 120 murders for the year of 1995, that year the murder rate was the highest at 59.1 killings per 100,000 residents, such a rate given is one of the absolute highest in the United States.[49] Morgan Quitno Press 11th Annual America’s Safest and Most Dangerous Cities Awards, ranked Richmond as the 9th most dangerous out of 354 cities for 2004.[50] Richmond was ranked overall as the 5th most dangerous city, and the 12th most dangerous metropolitan area in the United States for the year of 2005
