Are "change of seasons" overrated?

I spend most of the year in California now (for work), only in Phoenix 2 weekends per month now

This might open up more possible places for me, usually places out west that regularly see snow but also have above average sunshine like Albuquerque, Denver, Salt Lake City, Boise, Spokane, etc.

LOL. People unfamiliar with northern winter weather who read the bolded might think it's an exaggeration. But I know it isn't. Totally understand.

I think I could take the heat of Arizona, but imo, most of the state looks like the moon. I'm way too much of a tree and water person to appreciate the southwest.
