LUCKY!!! I wish I lived in the snow. Los Angeles definitely takes its toll. Heat of 90/100+ degrees at least 8-9 months out of the year in the valley can be brutal.
Traffic, weather, and the people = 3 reasons not to live in Los Angeles ... *nough said* ... Although, people here love it, I seem to be one of the rare people that don't.

The only people that live in my area of Florida and complain about the weather are the ones that have lived here for a while. Around here it's generally 90-100 in the summer, 60-90 in the spring and fall, and 30-60 in the winter.
It seems everyone here either complains of it being too hot or too cold... no one's ever satisfied or enjoying the weather. I personally love it... especially in the fall when the air is particularly dry and about 60-65 degrees. That's my favorite weather.
During the winter we get tons of people coming in from up north and they think it's warm. It's not odd to see hundreds of pale white tourists at the beach and in the water in the middle of winter. Well... on that note... since Bush's second term all tourism here has been greatly dwindling... We only had a handful of bikers here for Octoberfest... compared to four years ago when it was generally impossible to drive anywhere due to traffic... and all of the hotels were full. Oh well... maybe it'll perk up next year.

Posting about the weather on a UK forum, now there's a thread that could go on for some time! 
The winters definitely seem to have been getting milder here the last few years - not sure if its global warming, or just the earths natural cycles... it's probably just packed up and moved over to Iowa for a few decades!

Not only a UK forum, but since you mention the weather...

All my elderly neighbors migrate to Florida in the winter. We call it "God's Waiting Room".
I don't mind snow so much as the ice. 8-o We had a heck of an ice storm in 2005. It looked like the town had been bombed. Some folks were out of power for weeks. It was a bonanza for the tree trimmers, for it took several months to clean up the mess.

Meanwhile, down in God's Waiting Room, the dog and I soaked up vitamin D from ultraviolet rays on this 80-degree afternoon while I downed a fruit smoothie and puffed on my e-cig with its tasty RY4 juice.
They also call this place "paradise" about this time of year.

32degF /-1C here today
S**w on the East side of town.
Glad i am on the west side, they got about 9.5in/24cm.
I dont mind Snow, but Hate the Cold, and of course the Ice.
We get what they call "Lake Effect" snow. Untill the lake mostly freezes over, the warm water feeds the storms, and instead of a pretty dusting, we get buried under a white mountain of the crap.
Florida would be nice, except the summers where the humidity is so thick, you could drink the air with a straw, at about 200%.
That gets bad here too, with the Big Puddle here in Cleveland, but i think its worse down there.
This is why the South West is getting so crowded, its the "Dry Heat"

I know what you mean, when I was in Colorado I couldn't stand the snow, now I live in Hawaii, but have a vacation coming up over thanksgiving to go home to Colorado and I check the snow reports almost every day. A-Basin here I come!
It's all a matter of relativity!

Let me add a good word about humidity. Cause I love it.
What do you put on your skin to keep it nice and wrinkle-free? A moisturizer, naturally. Skin that absorbs moisture wrinkles far slower than skin exposed to dry, brittle air. You want a facial? Stick your head into the steam device! Study native Floridians faces (I'm a native) and you won't find prune-faced people. Those moved here from up North, where cold, dry air took a toll.
And in the for-what-it's-worth department, when L. Ron Hubbard was dreaming up Scientology, he made sweating a routine necessity. Sweating removes poisons from the body. While I'm no Scientologist, I'll give him that. He got it right.
You need to sweat. You need a moist climate. Move your grape face to Arizona and die as a prune in a few years.
Dry air makes my skin crawl, even to think of it.

Does it rain in Seattle? Closest we ever got was Portland. Been to the US three times now and only had one shower, in Boston.
It's raining here...
I grew up in North Georgia where like in Florida you can drink the air during the summer. The winter is a damp miserable cold, not much snow to speak of, we had a "blizzard" in the mid '90s, a whole 8 inches
. In '03 we moved to Wyoming in Dec. where I was greated with 12 inches of snow my first night and 22 inches the next day8-o. I have lived in Colorado for the last 5 years and loved it. Yes it was cold but not the bone aching cold of GA. We just moved back to GA currntly 59d and falling, I miss CO already.

Mean Number of Days with Precipitation .01 inch or More
I can add the "I know what you mean" about the Wet as well

Don't worry everyone, this girl guaranteed this winter to be mild for she bought a sexy snow blower with heated handles and everything.
LOL! That'll do it. That's like how I guarantee it's not going to rain when I go to work. I take my umbrella with me.
Well, I'll be dipped in do da!
Municipal street departments in Indiana are funded by state gasoline and cigarette taxes. We Hoosiers have been driving less and smoking fewer cigarettes. The end result is that my town no longer has money to pay overtime for the department to salt and plow streets. These operations will now only take place during business hours, Monday through Friday.
This could be a nightmare for early commuters sliding to work while the snow plow drivers are still at home, snug in their beds.
Town officials have come up with a plan: pray it doesn't snow.
