As a kid, I grew up on the Eastern Shore (MD), with the Chesapeake Bay on one side and Atlantic Ocean on the other. The heat and humidity seemed to be in lockstep, always hot and humid. My wife is from Rangeley, Maine and knows cold and grew up in PA for the most part. We've lived in hot humid areas and really cold areas, and we both prefer hot over cold, especially since cool ocean/gulf water is so easily accessible and A/C is our friend in between. We liked Texoma (North Texas) where we raised our kids because we had heat with no humidity and winter was usually "Do I need a coat today?", but it lacked...... everything else.
