Reply to comment by Money-Measurement961 in Has anyone moved out of CT because of seasonal depression? I enjoy CT but I’m only happy during June- august. by [deleted]

I moved away from New England and one thing I learned is that the only places where it really doesn't get cold and depressing East of the Mississippi are the Gulf Coast and Florida in general. Everywhere else is gonna have some degree of winter. I live in Nashville and I would categorize the weather as you need a jacket and it looks sad outside as being about four months of the year. Atlanta and Charlotte are pretty similar. If the only weather you like in CT is June-August, Florida, southern MS, AL and LA and Texas are your only options where you will like the weather all year. If you include the west coast you get more options (most of California, southern Nevada, Arizona and southern New Mexico)

I agree, from ct, lived in SoCal for 12 years and then to Atlanta thinking the winter was similar to SoCal. It was cold and grey from nov - to April. Gloomy.

I moved from CT to Atlanta a number of years ago, partly due to the weather. I found the Atlanta climate to be quite nice. Days are longer in winter. And it ends pretty quickly. Spring comes early and is often quite warm. Summers can be hot, but are a lot milder than Florida. Eventually, I moved back due to my job situation, not the weather.

I actually don’t think there is an east coast solution, gotta go to the other coast. I would venture to say that CT is desirable from an east coast weather standpoint because you can almost always be outside year round and manage it; this year aside after you acclimate to the colder weather being in the 20’s and 30’s on a sunny day is not unpleasant. If you prefer cooler summers go a little north or warmer winters go just a little south. When you go south of Jersey you start to have the opposite problem. In Florida you stay inside all summer just like we do all winter, it’s too hot and rainy.
