Because the common man lives here. Void of what is going on in the rest of the country. I pray it keeps snowing so that most will stay away and this will be a time capsule of what life was like 20 years ago.
According to Gallup and YouGov, Americans' favorite season is Spring and their least favorite season is Winter. This has been the case going back to 1947. Younger people (18-34) like Summer more than any other season. They also like Winter more than any other age group. Older people (55 and above) have the least tolerance for both Summer and Winter, but prefer Summer to Winter.
Residents of the Midwest report the highest dissatisfaction with their weather. The West reports the highest satisfaction. The Northeast and South are tied.
Even though most people don't like Winter, I think people can deal with it because it's only a few months.
It's been two years since I posted in this thread. Since then, I've noticed that I am tolerating the cold better as I get older. It's bizarre. I'm not sure how long it will last but I'll enjoy it while it does. I've also discovered that I enjoy snowshoeing, but I haven't had a chance to hit the trails yet this winter.
I left the south primarily because I can't stand the warm weather. It's pure misery to me. Where I live now has mild summers and rarely has super cold weather. I can't imagine having to deal with southern summers again.
I stayed because I have a job that pays equal or more than other parts of the US, including my home state of California. My standard of living is much higher here. I'm close to retirement so will stay put until then.
Year-round warm climates are like never being allowed to change your underwear.
This may be tolerable in a mild-cool climate like coastal PNW or San Francisco, but living in a place where even Winter is in the 70s, like Florida or southern AZ, I just couldn't do it long term.

I totally agree .. I lived for a while in never ending sunshine .. So. Cal. .... and, honestly, it got on my nerves after a while. Year after year .. I always found myself yearning for a change, a break, a storm .. I need that change to break up the monotony, have some down time, and a change in scenry. I love all the seasons, and snow .. and not just in the mountains .. I want it falling all around me. Having grown up in Southern New England, the changing seasons and the cycle of the year are a part of my soul.

No doubt most Midwesterners hate the climate. We get the worst of every season. In July and August it feels like it is in the 90s or 100s most of the time and 6 months later it feels like it is in the 20s or colder most of the time with snow. Then there is the spring which is tornado season. It is an interesting climate. I like it.
On average temperature in mid-west border states compare well with the PNW except minus the rain. Although we do get the occasional arctic blast of cold. While those are very cold they are short duration and on the bright side help control the weeds and bugs.
