Is there such a place? Although I absolutely detest winter, I think that a little bit of cold weather helps me to appreciate the warmer days. Is there anywhere where there's actual winter (i.e. snow) but where it lasts only 6 to 8 weeks?
Interesting. I was in Nashville one December. It felt roughly as cold as it was in Salt Lake when I left. I can take it for awhile, but here in Salt Lake City, the average first snowfall is on November 6 and the average last snowfall is on April 18. That's 45% of the year where snow is a very real possibility. Our seasons seem to look kind of like this:
Spring: May and June
Summer: July and August
Fall: September and October
Winter: November, December, January, February, March and April
This means that we're only about 1/3 of the way through winter right now, and I am just about ready to scream!
Memphis maybe. Lows average around freezing with highs warming to around 50. One or two minor snow events a year, with a snowstorm (4"+) a few times a decade. Summers are hot, so you might wish for the brief colder weather then.
