[quote=jstoesz]Dooh, snow and a cold climate is nothing. You use it to your advantage. In MN I loved going to our cabin (something you can easily afford in the MN) on a -30 deg day, roaring up the wood stove, and when I got the courage and sunk in the warmth walking out onto the frozen lake and drinking in the cold. There is nothing like seasons. It makes you realize nature. You don’t fear the seasons, you adapt. It makes the sun more vibrant and the 80 deg summer lake more soothing.
Weather is easily mitigated with an opportunistic disposition.[/quote]
My brother and cousin love the seasons and won’t give it up.
I’ve been living along the coast for a couple of years now. I don’t know if it’s just me, but seems like our weather along the coast has really sucked, especially this year. It’s been overcast almost every day. Now it’s raining. Everyone says we have great weather, but if you lived along the coast, this year was the worst. Every once in a while I had to remind myself that I was in SD and not SF or Maine or Seattle. I remember being at the beach in my bikini in December. I don’t know what’s going on w/the weather, but this year is not the year I’d rave about SD’s great weather. Yes, it doesn’t snow. But we lacked sun along the coast big time.
