I've lived where zero F is a balmy, sunny afternoon in the springtime. Now I live where anything approaching 32F is cause for panic.
I went the otherway, now, I wouldn't mind going back. If only there weren't so many people that liked Florida better than NY.
I tell everyone who complains about the weather up here, "yeah, but that's why it's nicer living up here. The weather is what keeps the riff raff out."
Oh, did I say it was nicer living up here? No, I meant, if it weren't for this horrible weather, the lack of paved roads everywhere, having to drive in 4WD 60 miles or more to get to decent shopping, the isolation, the bears that raid your bird feeders, shoveling snow, ... It might be almost as nice as living in a big city with their warming pavement, close companionship, high end shopping, municipal services, reasonable sales tax, ...
No, you are definitely better off staying away from New Hampshire and snuggling down in some metropolis somewhere South.
