asu, I grew up in Miami, lived in LA for a few years, did a 3-month stretch in Las Vegas plus probably 100+ shorter trips there, and don't have the slightest desire to live in any of those places. I've visited friends in AZ when it was 115 and nah, the dry heat didn't help that much. I'll take the fall colors, the flowering extravaganza of spring trees, and the winter wonderland effect of a good snow as reasonable compensation for the occasional slippery sidewalk.
Even San Diego, which comes closest to being tempting, is getting clogged by traffic and over-development. Not that I don't enjoy a winter break down south, though! --Dunbar
