OK, so a lot to chew on here. I think I love people making fun of different areas of the country (even places I live or have lived) is because nothing drives me more crazy than people claiming they live in the best place on earth. There are SO many places that offer really interesting combinations of factors that could be really appealing to a lot of people -- including the MW, SE and upstate, none of which are where I would chose to live, per se. So maybe that's just a personal pet peeve of mine.

Cold or snow aren't a huge deal to me, so I can see your point on weather. I think generally though, people hate snow and cold so that's a pretty big factor for the general public's perception. For me, it's more a function of sun and what you do with the weather. I'm not that into snowmobiling or hunting or ice fishing, etc. I love skiing (and the skiing here blows) but I'm not real excited about CNY skiing. I just feel like I get seasons here but more warm weather and significantly more sun.

Didn't realize that about the job market. That's great. I knew Buff and Roc were doing pretty well. It wasn't that way back in 2000 when I graduated. But hopefully that trend continues. I'm an upstate fan I just don't get upset when people bang on it (or DC, for that matter).
