Predictably, I guess, this post would turn into a warm climate versus cold climate debate. I'm not sure why those living in winter-less climates feel the need to vindicate themselves they are where they belong. Born in raised in Pittsburgh, I have zero desire to move anywhere. As I get older and raise 3 kids with one more on the way, the weather means less and less to me. More important are schools, (my daughter actually has some of my old teachers from high school), housing, neighbors, and dozens of other factors that are much more important. I bet if you would look at your day to day living compared to anyone living here, you would see little difference (sans a few hours or two in traffic). I don't know about you, but I can't cut out and hit the beach on every sunny day. The biggest gripe I have is the shortness of the days in the winter, but I'm sure this doesn't happen in the Sunbelt.
