My husband would agree with you on West Virginia. He's been working up there this winter and he absolutely HATES the weather. Cold, wet, dark. Yuck. He says he's going crazy. I don't blame him - he's Texas born and bred and spoiled when it comes to mild, wonderful winters!
Cold and dark doesn't sound bad, right about now. I'm getting a little annoyed with warm and sunny in February. I've spent my entire life living in places with mild winters, but I doubt I'll ever truly enjoy them.
I'm surprised Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Kansas aren't on here. No offense to the people living in those states. I guess the only things keeping Ohio from being on this list are Sandusky, Kent, and Columbus (Ohio State).
New York and the New England states didn't make the list? To judge by the threads here on C-D, those places are pure misery to reside in. That's why everyone is trying to move out of them, right?
I could easily live in West Virginia, Kind of Surprised to see Kentucky and Michigan on the list...
and there is a reason why Missouri is pronounce a lot like "misery"
I'm not surprised about Michigan, that's the only state that's lowering in population while the other 49 are raising. I love the state's attractions like the Mackinac Island and Frankenmuth, but it's one of the hardest states to make a living in.
Is weather really the only criteria people care about? How about unemployment rates, cost of living, crime, upward mobility, education, etc? Weather seems like an extremely minor thing in comparison to any of those.
As long as "having a job" is the only worthwhile attribute in modern American life, I guess that is what defines "depressing". And here we are, after 5,000 years of civilization, and "having a job" is the best we can hope to attain in a lifetime.
