Amen. I've always thought it's much easier to warm up than cool down.
I am an Ohio native and only 37 now, but I lived in Texas from age 29 to 31, when I ended up moving back home for work. I only lived two full summers in Houston, but I despise hot weather now, much more than I did before I moved south. It's not for me. I need a change in seasons and some relief from the heat, not five consecutive months of 95 and 75 every flipping day.
Give me cold winters over oppressive heat any time.

I feel the same but honestly given the choice between a summer chock full of triple digit days and what Bostonians had to go through this past brutal winter, I could live with the heat.

I prefer something between the extremes of Texas summers and New England winters. Thankfully there are plenty of places in that spectrum.

I agree. There are places that are in between though they also have their problems too. Sometimes the grass isnt as green as we like.

I have not decided to leave or where to leave to. All of this is dependent on several factors. I am looking and for me the fun is in the looking. I hope I can find that special place that I feel at home but not so far away from what I know now. DW and I are not physically tied to our location but we are also hessitant to leave what we know for something we do not know. We certainly will not go blindly. I think once we go some place to check it out we will know almost immediately. It will not take us long to say yes this is it or maybe someplace close to where we visit. All of it is totally dependent on how we feel. We listen to our gut feeling. That is how we got hooked up together so many years ago.

The heat has been pretty insufferable here in NE this whole past week, in the mid-90s ("real feel 100"). I didn't mind summer at all, barely used the central a.c. It's really getting to me now. I guess I'll finally put on the a.c. tonight. How do people live in the deep South???

For every resident who leaves Mass the rest of us get to pay more in property tax. Please stay!
