Yeah the good ol south...where your whole house can be wiped clean by a hurricane and nothing left but the slab.

I wouldn't live farther north than Chattanooga or Charleston, which are two awesome cities, by the way.
Maybe Portland and Seattle, but definitely no where in the upper midwest or northeast.

Well I meant the west in general. Gorgeous scenery in Utah, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon. A wide variety of climates to make anyone happy...some only a matter of driving a couple hours to get to a different climate.
Yeah and I'm sure I could use it as a home base to get to the things I want to. Didn't you say the high was in the 80s today? Sounds awful to me, but I know a lot of people who would love it.

When it's super hot, you just sweat a little and get tired quicker. When it is thirty below zero, that shite fricking hurts.
Show where it gets that cold in the continental US. That's an extreme temperature. Most places in the north don't even see zero or below zero more than a couple of days a year if at all. International Falls? The exception and not the rule.

Central Pennsylvania is beautiful in the fall when the leaves change color.
I'll take the South for the most part though. Mild winters and low cost of living are the best parts. I can handle the heat and humidity--heck, I don't even wear shorts in the summer.

High was 80 yesterday. With very little humidity might I add...makes a huge difference.
Lows get into the 40s at night so it's chilly in the am(like 50s) and warms up during the day. So this time of year you just dress in layers.

Hope I never experience that. Coldest it gets here might be in the upper 20s at night for maybe 2 nights a year and everyone is freaking out about a freeze warning. Yesterday it was 80 degrees outside and sunny. Perfect winter weather imo
I have been radically pussified by my time in the south -- I lock up when it gets below forty.
I was talking to my mother a short while ago, she was raving about the great day of weather; it was in the high thirties. I told her it was seventy here and she told me to go frick myself.

I define "cold" as not being able to walk around in wifebeater, jorts, and flipflops

A new hire in our office moved to Nawlins from Iowa in 1975. I asked him just that question. He said he would move back in a blink and that he actually liked cold and extremely cold weather. Icicles on his mustache at 30 below was okay with him.

Wind-chills, brochacho.
And yes, thirty below is rare. Wind-chills in the teens, single digits, and sub-zero are not.

I would hate having to drive in snow all the time as well.
We drove up to Flagstaff couple weeks ago(it's less than a 3 hour drive north from here). I made my husband drive cause I didn't want to deal with driving in the snow(they had just gotten several feet of snow the day before we got there).

This is said so much, but I honestly don't see it.
I thought DC was better, but I have seen far more nasty and miserable/unhappy people in NYC than in NOLA. I have also found a lot of people that generally are ignorant abt life outside NYC. It's like they cant fathom living anywhere else. I agree life is faster though, and agree about finding friendlier people outside the big cities.

It's the best place on earth in the summer.
But only if you like alcohol, partying and fricking lots of hot women. Besides that, there isn't much to do there in the summer.

Winters may suck but the summers are good

You're such an idiot.
You do realize over the past 30-40 years, the East Coast has had as many names storms/ major hurricanes make landfall as the Gulf Coast has?
