I'm beginning to think people who don't live where there is snow, think we don't have shelter, and that we, actually, have to live outside. All the comments about being terrified of winter are pretty amusing. I live in Wisconsin, and there have been winters where we don't even have snow for Christmas. Not many, but some. Also, there have been winters where people in areas have golfed in January. Not often, but to be terrified, is laughable.
I used to live in Cleveland when I was a kid. I don't want to experience anything even remotely close to that Winter weather ever again, and so far I haven't.
My definition of good life is probably a bit different from yours.
I ski 80+ days each winter, including at least a million vertical feet in the moguls, so for me the good life is living in Deer Valley for ski season. It will be deep sub-zero at midnight for a week or so in January, but aside from that it is very good skiing weather.
I want world-class live entertainment, fine dining, and excitement, so I live in Las Vegas for much of the rest of the year. Las Vegas isn't that hot; it rarely gets above 115. But that doesn't matter as I go from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned garage to my air conditioned car to wherever I'm going and that's air conditioned, too.
It's weird, but I've never equated the south, with the "good life." Actually, kind of the opposite. To each, his own.
The weather's warmer, the people friendlier, the food tastier. Sure there are problems here, but every place has its issues.
