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!

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.
