I think extremes of any kind are rough. Whether the extreme of an Upstate winter or Las Vegas in August. But I tend to agree with Sean in that I'll never complain in the heat. In 2014, every house and car has air conditioning, it's not like years ago down South, where you'd work outdoors and drive home in an un-air conditioned car to an un-air conditioned house.

States like NC and TN, which are pretty 4 season but never too extreme are to my liking, climate wise. The winters are cold enough that you can light a fireplace and heat your whole house, the falls have a nice chill to the air but remain outdoor friendly, winters don't last long or get so cold that your skin cracks, and summer is plenty hot, so you swim and take cool showers at the end of the day.

After MD people start to thaw out and become human again.
1. Friendlier, happier people
2. Better gas mileage, car just runs better
3. Long days, sun sets at 8:30 vs 4:30
4. Less laundry because the clothes aren't 10 pounds each
5. No cleaning snow off your car before work at 6 am
6. Barbecues
7. Vitamin D
8. Lower bills for A/C vs heat
9. Green trees, blue skies
10. For many, less illness

The warmer the climate, the more of this you get!

My least favorite, but still good, house flippers are gonna be in Syracuse next week. The ones from Flip this House Vegas.

The title Beccas quiz got me thinking about 315. In the entire US 315 would be the, discounting ALL cities, last one I would want to live in. And I wasted over 40 years in it. I'll take poor choices for 200 Alex. I'm Baldwinsville BTW.

Oh no. Those two clowns?! I like the show but its sooo staged. Every episode is her spending his money, he freaks out and wonders if hes going to make any money (while driving a Lamborghini), and in the end he makes a killing and she was right all along

I love the show with the chick from Minneapolis that fixes old homes. I don't know the name of the show but she's really talented. And the fact that she's as cute as can be doesn't hurt either.

Where In The 3-1-5 Should You Live?
I got Syracuse or Solvay. It was tough, as I had to pick the best choice and not necessarily the right choice.

That's Rehab Addict. Good show but I hate some of the stuff she does.

Those are pretty much the only shows I watch are that type. Everyone of them makes me want out of NY more and more.
