I guess people are different? I'm from a place where the difference between winter and summer is a lot, and as soon as I could moved to a place where the seasons are as even as possible. No need for change of clothing depending on the season and no risk of freezing in winter. Never been more happy, and the main reason for the move was indeed the weather.
- alecbz 5y agoInteresting, so this is something that you were like, actively conscious of as a source of unhappiness in your life? Like if someone had asked you, “what would you do to most improve your life?”, how high on the list would avoiding winter have been? I live in New York, the delta is fairly significant, though I’m sure there’s worse places. I have heard of places in like e.g. remote Canada where it seems like life kinda just shuts down in the winter, I could definitely see that sucking.
- chockchocschoir 5y agoIndeed. Between the end of autumn and middle of spring, my life basically shut down and I became borderline depressed for that period every year, until the sun started showing up and you no longer only had 4-5 hours of sunlight per day anymore. And when I moved to a place with more even seasons (and more sunlight overall), I no longer experience this seasonal depression, so yeah, I'd definitely put "good weather" close to the top on the list on how to improve my life, and subsequently, it's a strong indicator on where I can live in the world.
