On the subject of climate...

I was raised in NJ, back in the days when most homes had windown fans and no AC.

Summers were hot and humid, and the only way to get relief was to travel north to NH to take advantage of typically cooler, my temperate conditions.

But that left the winters, and mud season ... brutal, and an acquired taste, one which I never acquired.

I'd traveled this land and settled in Portland, Oregon, which I feel has a climate best suited to me: moderate, temperate, little snow, little crushing humidity.

YMMV
