I live in the rain capital of the US--Seattle. Been here for 34 years and the gloom is finally starting to get to me.
We moved here from San Diego (via New York, Orange County, and Los Angeles) so it was quite an adjustment, at first. I'd NEVER go back to SoCal--way too hot. I l sometimes call myself a "weather weenie" since I just can't tolerate extremes in weather any more.
Come to think of it, New York city was pretty bad too; if you don't like bad smells, crime, and a clould of humidity that desends on the city all summer, it's not for you either. It has a lot of advantages but the crime and the bad smells were more than I could bear. I was so glad to see it in the rear view mirror.
