Its relative. The continental US has huge variance in weather and Atlanta's weather is comparatively mild to most places. Our winter lows are between 10-20F, and not on very many days. It snows only once every year or two. Few people wouldn't move to Atlanta because of the weather. Now compare that to... Montana, or Maine. Or Seattle, for that matter. We have lots of New York transplants in Atlanta, and they love our weather :) A bit off topic but... at least in Florida you can beat the heat in the ocean :) P.S. It rained a foot, then snowed a foot at my house in Georgia the last 2 days.
