I am the exact opposite of you in terms of weather preference, but I'm sure you figured that out as I chose to live in Florida after growing up in New York City. When it's cold and dark at 4:30 PM outside I get irritable and depressed and want the world to go die in a fire. When it's 85 degrees out and humid I just go out for long drives and go windowshopping and party it out until it gets dark at 8:30 PM. (I may have mild seasonal afflictive disorder, so the dark GETS TO ME.) I have crazy dry skin, so cold weather just makes me want to scratch my skin off and I hate it so very much; the humidity of warm weather means I actually feel normal for a while. I love Southern sweet tea, which can only be served cold, and ice cream, and granitas, and all things sweet foods made to chill you down.
I don't own shorts though (a history of eczema on the backs of my knees makes me squeamish about showing them), so I'm constantly in jeans and a t-shirt, but the fact that this can be a uniform for me for like eight months of the year makes me kinda crazy happy.
*flails around* I'm sure I'll be complaining come this fall and I hang out with all of my friends and wail constantly about my fiance not being there, though. Also, lack of real Asian food, augh. I am so conflicted about my love for Florida and my love for New York...
