Places like TX and KS and AR come to mind. Hellishly hot and humid in summer, cold and snowy in winter, sprinkled with tornadoes. My idea of Hell on Earth!
texas is cold and snowy in winter, sprinkled with tornadoes? this is the second bizarre statement about the texas weather on here in the past few days
The worst of NYC's weather is really only a couple of months out of the year. It's not like 6 months of muggy 90+ misery followed by 6 months of blizzards and ice.
This is true. And this winter, in particular, was quite pleasant (if you don't like cold and snow). Other than one major snowstorm in January, most of the time we've had highs in the 40s, 50s, and even quite a few 60s. Heck it was in the 80s for a few days last week and it's still winter.
And we may get a hot day or two over the next few months, but the "dog days" don't set in til about mid July, so we should have a nice long spring.

This is actually true of the entire Midwest. It's funny, how people outside the region try to portray the weather. It's usually two months of cold, with two more months of varied weather…where it can be in the 50's or 30's. The heat of summer is usually varied, as well. Depending where you are in the Midwest, nights are often beautifully cool. March, April, May, September and October are my favorite months…moderate, without too much cold or heat. The rest, for those ready to jump in and say are freezing or too hot, can also be moderate. People just like to portray the Midwest weather in the worst possible light, and while I don't love January and parts of December and February, the rest of the year is just fine.

True, but there is a big difference in climate between southern and northern Wisconsin, although very few people live in northern Wisconsin. During a cold winter northern Wisconsin can see low temperatures colder than -20F over a four month duration.
Oklahoma in general has the worst seasons. We go from a winter of 2-3 wks , spring for one month, then summer until late October ( if you're lucky) Our summers are always muggy ( think Florida) and triple digit from July to late August. Our lakes are man made so they are all disgusting. Pretty much no relief

Once again. This simply isn't true. None of it. OKC is nowhere near as muggy as Florida. Summertime afternoon humidity in Oklahoma City averages about 46% and if it gets into triple digit heat this number falls to between 20% and 30%. Contrast that to Miami, Florida which averages 68% afternoon humidity.
While Oklahoma City CAN have really high humidity, it usually doesn't last all that long and is usually in June.
And the triple digit heat? Oklahoma City averages 10 days over 100 degrees in a summer. Granted, some of this average is based on extremes in that there are a couple of summers that have 20 or 30 days of triple digit heat while other summers have only 3 or 4.
