If you honestly find Cobb County GA cold.........yeah I've got nothing. Also keep in mind Dallas actually has more cold snaps than Atlanta does. Their averages are warmer but Dallas sits in an area where they can get temperature extremes. Could be 70 the one day and 30 the next. That's pretty common for Dallas in the winter. Personally I prefer North Georgia to Texas and Florida, in most aspects. I like the rolling hills and forest of North Georgia, far superior to flat boring Florida. If I'm being honest I think North Georgia has better weather than Texas and Florida but that's personal preference.
I'm a native Texan but have to agree about the weather. I enjoy our crazy *** weather, but generally speaking, I'd imagine Georgia to be nicer in that regard. Texas and Florida have mind-numbing summers that probably last longer than Georgia's.
As far as TX vs. FL in the crappy weather Olympics? I'll go with TX since we have more variety with our crappy weather. Desert heat, humid heat, blizzards in the Panhandle, freak ice storms (Super Bowl 2011 anyone?) and the usual tornadoes, hurricanes etc.

Not if the comparison is with corresponding latitudes in Texas. While Texas will have more potent heat in the summer, the duration is similar to length as in North Georgia; fall fronts reach both areas at about the same time.

Wrong. Elevation alone makes a major difference. North Georgia also experiences occasional breaks in the heat when weather 'Wedges' form south of the Appalachians.

We just had one 2 weeks ago that lasted a week.
Northern Texas (especially the Panhandle) can see breaks from heat as well, in times where a low pressure trough is able to penetrate.
But, the overall point is that the window for summer in North Georgia is no less than similar latitudes in Texas; both start getting fall cold fronts at the same time-frame. And its the same for all of Georgia compared to corresponding latitudes in Texas.

I think you mean certain parts of Texas. It's a much larger state that goes further North than GA does and much further South than GA does. The Rio Grande Valley will have completely different weather than Amarillo.

I'm aware of that. The point still stands, though, that for areas that correspond, the window of summer heat is the same.
It really depends on where in GA. My sister lives in the ATL area and I live in DFW which is where we both grew up. She thinks the summers in both those area are pretty equal in their miserableness. While the actual temperature might be higher for me she feels the higher humidity where she lives equals them out.

True. I moved to Dallas from Atlanta and totally agree with that comment. The hot and warm weather times of year do last longer in Dallas though.
