Just got back from Seattle. It was 48 degrees. 48 doesn’t sound that cold, but I was wearing 5 layers and I was still cold. It sucked. I got back to SD, and 63 degrees never felt so good. I love it here. I am envious of the 30 inches of snow they got back east. A good snowstorm is a wondrous thing. And I miss thunderstorms. But having those things occasionally vs. having good or great weather almost all the time is, for me, not even close to worth it. The myriad outdoor recreational opportunities available year-round in SD totally sell it for me.
