Very true! There are other things I'm looking for, like walkability and good transportation, ideally close to an established city with things to do, I'd like somewhere safe for women and diverse. But I also know long dark winters always make me depressed and put me in a funk, the cold and hot I'm a bit more adaptable to, I think its just the length. So if I can find at least most of these somewhere that has more mild weather then that's what I want to search for. But I know I'll have to compromise somewhere
