god I HATE it when people suggest to "move" when one doesn't like their climate.
Did it ever occur to you that he might have work, family or social/financial ties at his current location?
Easier said than done buddy.
Thanks for sticking up,
but I didn't mind the comment.
I have few commitments in Canada actually...
but a positive (Canadian ) employment situation, overall.
I definitely agree with your last point;
generally true for all but certain entrepenuers (sp?) (successful business-men, musicians, actors etc.)
and people with certian diplomas (doctors, lawyers etc.)
You guys need a chill pill or to hash it out among yourselves, no matter what post you are on, you two are at each other, get over it and try to be civil, its just the weather not a political controversy!
I try my best but this guy obviously just can't help himself

no worries mate, I honestly CANT STAND IT when people tell me, or anyone else to "move" if they don't like the climate. Moving is not exactly easy, or convenient, or possible 99.9999999% of the time, despite what this dingbat thinks.

Exactly. Once we have established our roots, so to speak, which will almost certainly happen as we get our education, our families are located and we get our first real careers in the place where we end up before we are even aware that we are alive..... regardless of our climate..... moving away from all this would be a difficult , distressing and perhaps an impossible event, unless one was lucky enough to find a career in their field in their desired location.
I shall also not accept cold cloudy weather - it's depressing, gloomy and I hate it....why should I accept it just because I can't change it?
Instead of "accepting reality," I often (at least attempt to...) "distance myself" from it.
I can often be in a good mood when I do things to forget my climate.
Ex: Spending time in saunas, heavy-excerise or even engaging some of the more exciting indoor activies.
*But as long as I live here,
there will always be that lingering irritance of "needing to prepare to go out" most of the year,
even if it's only in my subconscious.
"Reality" being 250-300 days a year of cold-induced pain?
(and occaisionally, A/C induced...)
No, I don't think I can ever fully accept that.
Too bad then! Try distracting yourself with something else. Refusal or inability to understand the difference between what can be changed and what can't is a sign of mental deficiency or insanity (I'm not referring to you, just making a general comment).

I agree that it's a hassle to prepare to go out when it's cold. I am rarely outside in the winter other than the trip from a building to a car (and factor in the time it takes to scrape ice off the windows ), but the thought of going outside is almost as bad. Plus, it's depressing to know it's impossible to go outside and be comfortable.
It is not cloudy at all during the winter in central NH. I would say at least 75% of the days during winter are partly cloudy to sunny.
That map on the other page proves that we're both right; Toronto is typically gloomy and NH "not really."
I'm amazed that the Great Lakes actually cause more cloudiness for Toronto than the North Atlantic does for New England.
