Right up until you are trying to snowblow through a 4 foot drift in your driveway... then you'll be angry that you ever wished for the cool weather.

I'm the type that loves the 4 seasons. I like the ungodly heat in Summer and the bitter cold in Winter. Snow is so pretty.

But, you would have to take time away from opening presents and eating to hurry up and build a snowman if it only lasted one day.

That's pretty much the way it is here. We might, might I tell you get some snow during the winter but it does not ever last very long at all and we are all ready for it to leave when it gets all mucked up and dirty looking.................everyone but me that is,lol!

I like the first snowfall of the year after that I could care less. Would like to move some place south where it doesn't stay cold for so long.

I'd like to move to maybe northern California if I could get a decent sized piece of property not too far from the ocean. Can't live on the beach tho cuz too much salt and will wreck everything. I could never get used to the heat and humidity back in the south or mid-west. Been here most all my life except for 2 years in Michigan. Only liked it back there in the Spring and Fall. Too cold in winter and too hot and humid in Summer.

Well don't want the heat of Arizona for sure! But don't want the humidity either in the south. Guess I'm stuck here w/ my rain and no deathly critters. I can visit the warmth.

we only get a small frame of high humidity and most critters that bite I keep away from my house with borax or mothballs .Every state that has hotter temps is going to have something better than some states for biting critters
