New England is the best, 4 seasons. Summer heat but no humidity, colorful Fall season, Winter wonderland, and Spring with the blooming flowers.

And we lived on the opposite coast. It's true that we were lower in the temperature department, but it was much more humid living near the Gulf, than it is up here. Presently, it's 92 degree here in TV land with the humidity at 45%. In Southwest, Florida it's 88 with the humidity at 70%.

YOU LIED TO ME

Soon I'll be at my cabin in the woods on the lake in the mountains with an average temp of 74 degrees. We even have campfires at night.

The good news it that this world-class infrastructure empties out -- good if you like things uncrowded.

May I ask, where is it that you have average 74% summer highs? That's fairly rare, I think, unless you're at 9000' or on the ocean -- something like that.

Instead of two homes, buy one with a pool. Or get acclimated by exercising outside. It will improve your health too.

from the CDC:

Acclimatization is the beneficial physiological adaptations that occur during repeated exposure to a hot environment. These physiological adaptations include:

Increased sweating efficiency (earlier onset of sweating, greater sweat production, and reduced electrolyte loss in sweat).
Stabilization of the circulation.
The ability to perform work with lower core temperature and heart rate.
Increased skin blood flow at a given core temperature.

And now for Herkimer County NY:

168 sunny days
On average, there are 168 sunny days per year in Herkimer County. The US average is 205 sunny days. Herkimer County gets some kind of precipitation, on average, 162 days per year. Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

And, as another poster mentioned, that doesnt include the black fly days..

The Seacost of New England is lovely. Not at all as you described.
We're able to go outdoors and enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, lakes, and beautiful scenery anytime.
