45 years ago I decided I had enough of the Northeast and Midwest crappy weather and moved to California. Once you realize you can have 300 days of sunshine instead of 300 days of clouds, it’s an easy choice.
At least the weather is still nice here.
In Texas, we say, “If you don’t like the weather, give it a minute.”
I love cloudy weather, down here a clear sky means you steam. Bring on the clouds...
I moved from New York to California in 2005. Everybody should live in California for a few years. It’s... ummm... different. But the politics are just too nutty and I finally voted with my feet at the end of 2015. Now I live in the SW corner of Florida. I still get the nice weather most of the year, but now I do so for a third less the cost of living and no state income tax.
