About 1 or 2 summers in 110+ degree heat thins the blood real fast. Anything below 50 F is pretty darn cold after that.
Ah, for the days I lived in Albany, liked the snow (never loved it, AFAIC, skis and snowshoes belong to the Yukon and should stay there), knew how to drive in it, had the brains to use studs or chains on ice, and cold, sometimes down to -28F, wasn't a major hate.
That was about 32-36 years ago.
I far prefer central Virginia at my current age.
