While I certainly don't love 110+ degrees, I will definitely take a few months of it over the cold snowy weather I grew up in. I don't miss driving in snow at all. We built a great house in the west suburbs. And although it is stucco with a tile roof, it's nicer than the typical one-tone beige stucco/roof that you'll find around here. And the benefit of having a house in this weather is you never have to worry about mold and mildew, gutters, rotting siding, shoveling snow, dense undergrowth and crazy uncontrolled plants, etc. I guess one downside is that I would love to have a basement but they're super uncommon around here.
