Find me a place with the food, entertainment, safety and public transportation of NYC - but in a warmer climate - and I'm there!
(Hmm...might have to move overseas then)
Yeah, the past 2 years have been ridiculously cold and icky. But it's not normally this bad.

To each his own....
I live in the north, and always have a tough time explaining why to southerners who hate the cold. Is it not that I particularly like the cold weather, it is that I don't mind it. And to me, the payoff of many of the other positives of my region, of which I take advantage of many, far outweigh any negatives from having to wake up early to shovel snow occasionaly.
Southerners I know have said the same thing. They don't love the 95 degree/100% humidity days, but they don't mind them enough to diminish their quality of life.
Someday, I'll retire to a place that focuses more on recreation. Many of us live where we do because of incredible career and professional opportunities, but will retire elsewhere. For me, it will be a place like Jackson Hole, Sedona, maybe the San Juans in Wash..... But not Tampa, the Keys, or Hilton Head. They are all beautiful places, but not for me...
I read in the Wall St. Journal that 80% of new retirees are retiring to the very city that they lived in while they were working.... placing a premium on being close to family and old friends.
