I am a New England girl living in North Carolina now, and I would take real snow over this endless grey any day!

AMEN sista’…….I have grumbled and groaned that this is precisely why i don’t live in snow country….the snow, bitterly cold air and gray skies need to go back to snow country and leave the south alone!!!

My perfect climate is one with NO SUMMER. I hate sweating.

Perfect for me would be 4 seasons, 75 and sunny with a light breeze in summer, maybe the occasional excursion to 80 (that’s plenty hot enough), a bit cooler in fall and spring, the colder the better in winter (well, up to a point! there’s no real need to be below zero for any length of time…) with snow that falls up to 6 inches at a time and then politely melts away before the next one.

Actually I wouldn’t mind skipping most of spring altogether, way too much mud.

I like it cold, grey, and rainy! Spring is okay, but summer is the pits! I really think that I could have lived in a more polar environment.

The south is probably the closest I can get to my favorite climate: tropical. I don’t like humidity so much, but do love an equal mix of sun and rain, but maybe a bit more rain/thunderstorms. Of course, I’d prefer temps with highs in the 60s through the winter instead of anything colder.

I live in SoCal and it’s PERFECT for me. Right now. I love sun, sun, sun. Warm, mild. Sun. Rain I like, in moderation (mostly because it makes things grow.) I’d much rather have an earthquake here and there (ours are pretty mild) than a tornado or hurricane. That being said, I also loved living in CO, because even though it snowed in the winters, there was still tons of sunlight, even in the col dmonths!

I am so anxiously awaiting the first Spring day with clear blue skies and a temp of 75 degrees. This Winter HAS been harsh and it’s not over yet – more snow predicted here this week…and I’m in Arkansas! My skin is quite visibly complaining about this weather. I just can’t wait to step outside in short sleeves and feel WARM all the way to my bones. My preferred temps are 75-85…90 at most as long as the humidity isn’t too bad. I don’t like to be sweaty, LOL.

I do like snow at Christmas, but once the season’s over I’m all “Ok, done now, buh-bye!”

@Maria, can I come lve with you? It sounds perfect. Here in Ireland it doesn’t usually get hot enough in summer (lots of rain makes the place so green) and it’s not usually too cold. This winter though has been long and cold though the river here froze over for the first time in nearly 40 years! I’m starting to think I live in Narnia.

I could not possibly agree with you more. I live in OBX and that is not far enough south for me. I hate dreary cold rainy days and I tell my husband all the time that why can’t God make it rain all night so the sun can shine all day….
I DEFINITELY have Seasonal Affective Disorder and am on meds because I’m so bad with it. Jan and Feb are my worst months. All I want to do is sleep and hibernate and eat. And look out at my yard and cry at all the dried dead looking landscaping.
