as I said in that "where DOESN'T the weather suck" post:
let's be real, the winter can be gloomy as fuck, but it's pretty gloomy most places outside of Florida and the Southwestern states. on the bright side, you don't get snow were you live, but if you WANT snow you can drive 25 minutes to the mountains and go skiing/sledding/boarding/etc.
however, spring is usually pretty good - somewhat damp but some nice days and mild temps, and unless you really NEED super hot temps, the summer is probably better than anywhere you can imagine. sunny, no humidity and temps betweeen 78 and 88 with a few hotter and cooler days here and there.
