I hate having to live in air conditioning. I have to work in an office. I need to walk at lunch time and after work. I love to spend time outside. Wrapping up against the cold is easy, and I love being in the snow. Unwrapping against the heat is not so easy, especially when you come back into the office after a lunch time walk. "YEah, sorry boss, i know I'm drenched in sweat while wearing a speedo, but I'll go towel off and put my clothes on right now!"
That is how I feel, in the winter you can always put something else on but there is only so much you can take off before the Cops show up. After almost 3 years of living Louisiana I have vowed to never in the South again, I did not like the lack of seasons.

The problem is the day job...if you work during the day in the northerly parts of the continent you miss all the daylight. This sucks even more when the winter consists of more rain than snow. Cold, dark, wet. Ugh.
Another advantage of Michigan! Although we're in the Eastern time zone, it's so stupidly, ridiculously wide at this point it's still light quite late. Checking for today civil twilight is 5:31pm, while in Boston it's 4:43pm yet in both places there are about 10:15 hours of daylight. For comparison Pensacola which is reasonably close to due South from here it's around 5:15. Now yes they have a 50 min longer day, but I can live with that for light in the evening. It's all gravy to me though being a Brit originally, where I grew up Civil twilight is 4:30 with only 9 hours of daylight.
In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
Britain has daylight???? Every picture I see it's dark and dank, grey, and generally, blah.
