Just the same I'm glad we have the South. To my mind it's the nicest - and most worthwhile - part of the country.

To each his own. I like seasons myself. Ain't nothing like crisp, colorful fall days, white Christmases, warm fires in January and February, watching the earth turn green in April and May.

We have seasons in the mid South. The weather here in Nashville is comparable to Washington DC.

Not exactly New England I admit.

The Deep South is indeed hot and winters wet and temperate.

I like cold weather too and enjoyed upstate NY mainly for that reason. My 8 years in Manhattan were maybe 2-3 degrees on average colder than Nashville and summers in the city can be very very hot. Manhole lid popping hot as anyone who has lived there knows.
