My thug name is 'Willie the Whiner,' because of my non-stop lamentations about our weather, no matter what our weather is at any given moment. I spend a lot of my life unhappy with the weather, but I am very pleased to live on a planet with an atmosphere, even when the current meteorology isn't to my taste.
Truth is, I've never lived anywhere that didn't have four seasons (okay, in Greenland, north of the Arctic Circle, some of the seasons were more notional than others), but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to try it out for myself, at least a little bit before deciding.
My mom had a lifelong dislike of winter and, most especially, snow. After retirement many years ago, headed to Florida many years ago. I think the only reason she didn't move to Panama was that Cuba prevented the Florida peninsula from reaching there.If anyone deserved the sun's warmth, it was Mom.
And judging from the weather forecasts, that's all the warmth a lot of us in the Northeast, and parts elsewhere, too, are going to have in the coming days. We had a LOT of snow last weekend, along with a lot of other folks, and there's a not inconsiderable amount still in the forecast.

I just had a memory of a daytimer AM station we listened to as kids when my parents had a vacation house in Pennsylvania, WARM, the Mighty 590. No matter how bitter the winter weather, you could always rely on the Ronnie Radio-Voice announcer to pass along the time and temperature in 'DEgrees' while demanding to know 'is it cold enough for you? It's only WARM for me!' Talk about the greatest little station in the nation, not.
