My experience living in Texas (very warm) versus Michigan (seasonally warm):
People in Michigan enjoy warm weather a hell of a lot more than people in Texas do. I think the scarcity of good weather days make people take better advantage of them.
[ETA: Contrarily, I enjoy the winter here a lot more than most other people do. I -like- cold weather. I'm the crazy guy wearing shorts in the snow.]
That might be true.
Julia Galef's argument that people who grew up in colder climates and then move to warmer ones will actually be made significantly happier is also compelling; maybe I will be happier if I move to California! (I sure as hell spend a lot of my time during the winter thinking "I hate this place, I'm moving to California.")
s/warmer/milder/. Running from one air-conditioned place to another is no fun, either.
