That's what I found strange honestly. I don't know why but I always thought the west coast was great weather. But it sucks. Only southern California had ok weather, but even then the beaches weren't great and the water was cold in summer. The farther North it was like borderline miserable weather.

I guess the weather comparison trope is based on New York and places that it snows a lot, but so much of the US has a far better climate than the west coast.

Depends on what kind of weather you like.

Where I am it never ever gets hot and it gets below freezing maybe two or three nights a year. When it's warm it's never humid (dry summers) and the only time it's humid is when it rains, which happens pretty much all winter. I kinda like that. Nights are cool (55F or below) every night, even in the middle of summer, which makes for comfortable sleeping.

The main downside IMO is the short days in the winter, but that's really latitude rather than weather.

Yeah, it definitely depends on what you like and I get that different people like different types of weather. To me though, that sounds pretty miserable, except for the dry summer, except it's not hot so not great for doing summer activities.

Just wondering, have you lived anywhere with a different climate?
