Weather is a number one factor for me relocating probaly, I'm lucky because I actually love the cities with the climate I like. If I could do my high school education again I'd go for university entrance and perhaps study to become a meteorologist. But in terms of what I want to become (a professinal rugby player) the weather wouldn't be as much factor to me as it would be for me relocating.

I live in newfoundland, that's that big Ireland sized island at the top of the northeast. I never had much of a problem with the cold other than the fact the weather hovers around freezing for 9 months of the year and only 2 months of the year can you really go outside and enjoy the weather. However my biggest problem is the snow, rain, fog. We get more snow than anyone in north america during the winter, yet we still get loads of rain in the winter. The winter here is so bizzare i mean literally 3 feet of snow will fall in like 2 days followed by a week of rain, the weather here really plays with your emotions. When it's not the six months of winter or two months of summer, it's just cloudy cold and raining i guess much like British weather. So to some it up we get six month of British weather in our warm season, and six months of the wettest, windiest, snowiest weather in winter.

Weather is very important to me, where I live now has created health problems and my docs have said to leave the long hot humid drippy summers and the horrific allergins that seem to reside here...not helpful the the real estate market died.

I'd like a dry temperate climate..not too hot and not too cold. Some of my compromise areas are the Yakima Valley, Spokane area or Southern Oregon.

Nope. Somewhere there's a place with all the things we seek.

Lived my whole life with searingly hot, humid summers, beautiful spring and fall, and very cold, snowy winters.

Winters are worst.

When we retire I'm selling the snowblower on the way out of town...

They weather is very important to me. I hate it when it is cold outside. I like doing things like hiking, biking, running, tennis, volleyball and here I can enjoy them outside all year. I also like to grow things and work in my yard. Here my plants can bloom all year. I may not have as many trees as other areas but at least mine have leaves all year long! The dead brown landscape I had 6 months a year when I lived in MA was very depressing to me. Here my yard is lush and green all year. (yes even in the desert). Our backyard is like another room of the house. We spend a lot of time out there all year with our friends. In the winter if it's chilly we sit by the firepit, in the summer we have the pool.
When I lived in cold regions I never wanted to leave the house in the winter and I love the outdoors - so yes weather is VERY important to me.

I seem to have your exact mentality.

Unfortunately, Melbourne's climate means languishing inside half the year. We can grow large varieties of plants aswell, being outside to enjoy them is another matter...well between May and October atleast...

The city is great, the weather sucks big time.
