Catwoman, you might consider a city like Denver that can get a considerable amount of snow throughout the winter months but which usually melts within a few days.
I've lived in ND and MN where the snow stays for five months -- the fun of it starts to wear on you. Scraping ice and snow off your windshield after work or after parking to run errands isn't pleasant. Spending part of your lunch hour sitting in the car and running the engine if there are no plug-ins for the block heater. Having to install a block heater. Accidentally leaving a case of soda in your car and having half the cans freeze and explode. Slipping/falling on snow and ice. Sliding into parked cars while driving on snow and ice.
It's not cheap to outfit yourself for winter! Sweaters, coats, gloves, hats, boots, thermal underwear, muffler, snow shovel or blower, salt, etc. The windshield scrapers are cheap.
