it's your personal choice where to live..........BUT....kahit saan ka matira, the weather is always a factor.  In USA, the weather are different from different states........you can not avoid storms or snows.........the storms comes and go once a year.....

It just like living in Canada....you are stuck to Cold Snowy Weather.

I prefer the rain from snow........

And also.......sanayan lang ang pagtira sa mga countries with different extreme weathers........sanay na kami sa California weather.....
