Not to mention one of the users here (Kamsack) lives in Grand Forks, ND of all places and loves the climate there, so it obviously isn't just a "grass is always greener" scenario for all cold lovers.
Can you give an example because I fall under the palm/heat lover and honestly don't recall anyone ever doing that.

My shorts limit is around 15 C. Below that only when jogging (down to 12 C)... Overall I think I'm fairly badass on that stuff where I live though. Most people don jeans at 20 C, I've even experienced people close to me wearing light jackets when it's 22 C... that is just insane. We're supposed to be vikings, yet people dress like weaklings. I do like my sleeping nights warm, so I'll go to bed now in long sleeves, underneath three layers, in spite of it not even being cold in here

Does the expression "there's no bad weather but only bad clothing" apply where you're at? I know that that's a Scandinavian thing.

Two words: Who cares.



Not everyone gives a **** about growing tender palms.
I get that, but on the other hand I think the greenery is very important for a climate. I dont think the US South is that bad tho when it comes to greenery, they have pine trees and magnolias which are pretty cool, also those beautiful Cypress Trees. But obviously it's not exactly the Amazon when it comes to biodiversity I think in general the greenery turns to **** west of the Appalachians, you can really tell the difference between the Poconos and somewhere like Scranton which looks like absolute ass

In terms of biodiversity the southern Appalachian mountains and Alabama are 2 of the most biodiverse places out there.

Are you referring to the evergeens in the Poconos?

Not sure, maybe it's because of the mountains, but the Poconos really do look nice. The greenery even 100 miles north or west looks much much worse

Really? I haven't been to Scranton, but I have been fairly close to it (up I-380) and thought the evergreens were beautiful. Many of the evergreens in Northern NJ are dying, so it's no longer as scenic as it was even just 10 years ago. Same thing is probably happening in the Poconos.
