Born and raised in Erie, PA. We get temps here that can range from 90+ to -15~ easily. (Note these are temps that will last for more than just a day or two...) We jokingly say we have 8 seasons or more here.
A small geography lesson: Erie is located right under Lake Erie! :O We get similar winter winds that places like Buffalo, NY that can cause some serious lake-effect snow storms. But we also get amazing cool breezes in the hot summer time.
Its fun to have a little variety in your weather. Typically it does not start to snow here till mid-December and has lasted through late-March/early-April. After that it does not get *hot* till late June. Temps start to fall around Sept and slowly get colder and colder till winter starts again.
Where I am , we easily get 200~ inches of snow a year. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Snow is a beautiful thing, how one can hate it I cannot fathom. Unless you are being forced to live in this city against your will, you have little reason to complain. You know the drill, you should be prepared for it. Do not own a rear-wheel drive vehicle unless you have a back-up winter vehicle. Leave your self A TON of extra traveling time, and learn alternate routes.
Another great part about having the full spectrum of climates is that no matter where you move to later in life, you know 100% you are prepared for it.
I my self am thinking of moving either the Arizona area or somewhere south,but not too south. Not because I hate it, I'd just like a better job.
