Matt,
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago then spent several years in the "lower Midwest." It took a few years of living out here to finally realize that I didn't have to DREAD the fall because it brings winter!
My husband reminds me that this is why we pay so much for real estate, real estate taxes, car insurance, homeowner's insurance - but as a native of New York state, he feels even stronger about ever leaving than I do (he's been here 15 years, I've been here 4).
Some people will say "don't you miss the change of season?" and I don't at all! Besides, we have changes of season here as well - they're just more subtle.
As a former Midwesterner I felt compelled to agree heartily with your post. Living here has definitely with my depression to a certain extent.
