A portion, yes, but not so much where I live.

At least the guy lived out his dream and got out of cold climates. It's a lot more than I can say about all the cold lovers on this forum from the South that love freezing way cold winters, but don't move anywhere to get them.
Its kinda annoying when southern users want the polar vortex to drop down in Quebec, it might be fun to see a few snowflakes in Georgia or Mississippi or wherever they are, but here it means nightmarish temps of -15° or -25° where you can't even feel your face or leave your house for more than 5 minutes. If you like snow then move to ****ing Syracuse or Buffalo and we'll see how much you like snow when there is like 150 inches of it a year and you get the pleasure of clearing a five foot deep glacier from your car

Houston isn't that warm in winter lol. As recent as 2011 there was a Feb day that didn't go above 31F.

I know Houston is different but I've heard even a few miles outside the city it gets really country really fast. I read "unsavory" stories about places like Livingston which is scarily close to Houston

Only problem with that is not everyone hates winter and snow like you and tom. There's people in Syracuse who I'm sure love the cold and snow and love to do winter sports and spend time outside. I don't know why you warm weather lovers always assume that everyone hates cold weather as much as you and I handle cold way better than heat anyways. You know I've been in -35 F before right?


I honestly don't mind shoveling snow. I've done it about a dozen times my whole life granted, but I loved it every time. I love physical exercise and the cold, so I don't see the negative.


That's like me telling you to move to Laredo, TX and experience 90 degree temps for six months of the year, who the **** am I tell you that you won't like it? It's just pure assumption on your part. Not everyone is as whiny and you and tom.

LOL. Americanwx forum, the southeastern section all I have to say. Winter in that forum is nightmarish. They also expect too much put of a climate that snows very little. It's crazy. They expect 1 foot each winter. Crazy! I absolutely hate some of the posters their, mainly because of their bitchiness. Have not seen a single warm lover there ever. But they have great expertise and access to lots of models that's why I listen in to their conversations. Very informational, I relay a lot of what I learned there to here. If you want to know if it will snow down here they are the guys to ask! Just wish they were not so emotional over snow lol.

I respect everyone's weather tastes. I hate cold (e.g. below -5 °C/23 °F) weather but I don't insult people who like that.

LOL, I dont care that doesn't bother me. What does is how emotional and whiny they get. These are grown men mostly! One guy said he had to couldnt sleep because of how excited he was over a snowstorm, nothing wrong with the excitement but what happens when it doesn't verify.... go through there in the winter it's hectic.

Haven't you figured out yet that the vast majority of weather fanatics in the US are extreme cold lovers. Winter weather is why they got interested in meteo in the first place. Everyone I knew in school had no interest in summer, only winter. I still believe the vast majority of Americans have no interest in weather extremes in either direction, especially cold. I don't see Minnesota booming in population compared to CA, TX, AZ or FL.

In Europe and the rest of the developed world, as in pretty much everything in life, they seem much more moderate in their weather tastes and less likely to be extremists in weather or anything.
