I'm a recent college graduate living at home to save money. I highly doubt an employer will ever relocate me in my current industry (marketing and advertising). However, I'm going to law school in the near future, and will use that as an opportunity relocate to a place I'd actually like to live.
Is there actually somewhere that has just a "cold climate"? Did the OP mean to say, "places in the U.S. that have cold winters"? I mean, I live in Michigan and it gets incredibly hot here in the summertime, as in, 95+ degrees with humidity that makes your eyeballs sweat. Of course, we don't get it for months on end like some places which is one of the reasons why I like it here. But yes, we do have lovely, temperate weather throughout much of the year here so I'm not sure if the OP actually thought that there were places in the U.S. that are truly cold all the time or if he/she just misspoke. It would be hard to know, since this is an old thread.
We stay here for a host of reasons: higher wages, four seasons, family, interesting things to do, gorgeous scenery, and being surrounded by down to earth Midwesterners who we share a love of home with. When I visit places like Florida and Arizona I always think they might be nice to visit for a week or so during the winter, but other than that, no thanks. To each their own.

OP meant cold winters. That's what people complain about...and is why the warm areas of the country are experiencing so much population gain.

I know, but seriously, I know plenty of people who cannot tolerate extreme heat either. We lived in Phoenix in the summer a few years ago. It was hell on earth. I would just about have to live in Siberia to make me prefer the heat of Phoenix in July over a cold winter. It was brutal!

I hear ya. I grew up in Florida, and I cannot take extreme heat. But it seems that a lot of the people who complain about "cold weather" mean anything in the 60's or below. For example, it has been in the 50's steadily for the past 2 weeks in FL and judging by the people I stay in touch with there and also posters on these forums...that is insanely cold to most people in Florida! That's kind of ridiculous if people think that is cold. There are people on the FL forums asking "how everyone is dealing with this cold?".
So most people want a warm climate these days. On the other hand, I love extreme cold...give me snow blizzards and 15 degrees or under every day and I'll love it.
The OP sounds like some old fuddy duddy with his whole "dog on the porch" description
Like as if Texas is this amazing gem that people have not discovered yet.... puh-lease.
Texas's gulf area smells like farts. and looks like it too. I've been there.
Where I live there's no state income tax either. Also, there's no cold and yet...i could easily live up north... The people are usually more educated and open. The politics more progressive... the 4 distinct season...the history and bit of old world charm, etc... No city in a warm climate of the US has what NYC or Boston has.
