I'm glad there's rarely any snow in my place. In 10 years we'll be USDA zone 9 and officially be tropical! I can't wait till that time comes so that I could have mango trees and banana trees in the ground over the winter.
Basically I want to skip the winter season entirely, no matter how mild it is, and leap into the nice Spring weather in January.I think another reason I like our mild winter is I'm totally accustomed to the climate here, even with the very hot and humid summer.
