Seems like weather is the last straw for a lot of people. The heat makes people want to leave the great state of Texas, and the bitter cold and snow convinces New Yorkers to abandon their beloved city. Or maybe these people never cared for where they lived in the first place.
I admit that I've considered leaving Texas. Not for something "better", just something different. Because unlike others, I understand that no place is perfect, and definitely not officially superior to this state. So you will be compromising something upon leaving here.
Then again, some people simply aren't meant for Texas, and you'll want to be careful around these types. They'll likely have the mark of the beast etched somewhere on their body. I'm not even kidding.
I've never seen anything in the Bible that said "Leaving Texas is the work of Satan and the sign of the anti-christ". LOL.
More greenery than central Texas maybe, but likely on par with East Texas.
I actually found East Texas to be greener than Southwest Missouri/Springfield by a pretty wide margin when I lived there. Now the Ozarks are a different story, but that Southwest Corner of MO is nice and green but moreso in a lusher North Texas/Rolling Hills sort of way.

I'd say moreso due to the fact that summer temperatures aren't as extreme along with more rainfall. Southeast of that area you run into denser forested terrain.
I hate to tell you but it will be this way for the next year, you (Houston) might not get below freezing this winter as the patterns are not going to allow it..
Actually, the La Nina weather pattern does allow it to get below freezing there. There were brutal cold waves in all of Texas last winter and the La Nina was strong. It is predicted to be present again this winter.
I did not in any form or fashion say it was normal>>>>>>>>>You are the one that is being childish, I did not start this thread, read the first post. I am not being negative, it is only the truth, take it the way you want to. If you really want to know, it is all the hot air you Texans blow to make people think it is the cats meow place to live. Plus, I am in the General US thread, not the Texas thread, and when is there a rule to where one can post?????
How about if we get back to the original thought of the thread. I want to move out of the state because of the weather. I don't hate the state by any means. But I want to move to a location that is more to my liking regarding climate.

Thanks to most for constructive comments. I finally got through all of them. Some were pretty wacky, but in a thread this long, there will always be a few of those. I'm glad to see some suggestions, and also what some responders said about not letting a drought be the determining factor in whether one might want to leave a place. That's definitely something to think about .
Thanks again!

I might have missed where you stated this, but what are some of the specifics you're looking for?
If you're wanting to be someplace with the somewhat progressive vibe of Austin, then look no further than North Carolina. Either the more artsy, mountainous Asheville, or the more education-centered Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) should do. NC has the humidity, but their summers are milder, and winters are colder as well.
