I agree.  Fall is my favorite time of year.  If it could be 72-75F all the time I would very happy.

I prefer spring because of all the flowering trees. But this fall weather is my second choice.
I wish there were a place where this sort of weather was normal year-round. 
 @754d2f63 
Honestly, if I discover such a place, I'll let you know.  I've given it a lot of thought and haven't come up with anything yet. 
 @51fb1883 

We're in mid-Atlantic, inland, because it's about as close we can get. A little snow, a lot of hot and humid, a lot of rain and plenty of lovely weather.

My Boston cousin spends a month in Sedona each winter and I'm tempted to do something similar after we both retire. Mountains in the summer and a warm place in the winter would be perfect.

Come on, lottery! 
 @754d2f63 
That sounds like a good plan.  We live about 15 minutes from the beach, but not in an area prone to flooding.  

We haven’t had snow for the last 3 years.  The summer heat /humidity can get oppressive but as long as the power grid holds it’s OK.  All things considered it’s a good location. So far. 
 @51fb1883 

Would your main concern be hurricanes? 
 @754d2f63 
Yes, because of the potential damage from wind.  We live surrounded by trees.  Bad nor'easters are a threat as well.

Our house sits high enough that it would take a LOT of rain to flood us, although we could be cut off from major roads I suppose.  

It's hard to feel "weather secure" anywhere anymore. 
 @51fb1883 

You are so right about nowhere being weather secure! There is also fire risk everywhere. 
 @754d2f63 
Yes, you’re right about the fire danger. I’d forgotten about that. 
 @754d2f63 @51fb1883 Sedona is a lovely place 
 @f4dace84 @754d2f63 
I've heard that.  I wonder what it was like this summer.
