What we like (really really) about this area is REAL four seasons - 3 months winter, 3 months spring, 3 months summer, 3 months fall....
At least it isn't 8 months of gloom and cold and snow and ick like it is in NE Indiana (where we lived for 37 years so don't try to tell me different!) - I survived the blizzard of '78)....
Fortunately it seldom snows here - we did get some last winter (in March) - enough to make a small (very small) snowman LOL ....
