I grew up there, and really the worst part was that stretch in February where it's overcast every single fucking day.
Then there's the humidity with 100+F days in the summer. And mosquitoes.
The other problem was I grew up in a reasonable, livable suburb, and now, when I go back there, I see that rents and housing are really extremely expensive compared to salaries. Jobs suck (there's no real tech industry anymore). And traffic in the suburbs is constant gridlock wherever you go. It's become a real horror show and I couldn't ever contemplate moving back. Weather/Climate is not even the consideration.
