I'm a native Californian and enjoy our weather but lived on the East Coast and liked that experience too.  I am open to change should the right opportunity present itself.  I've learned to never say never.

       Born in Florida, have lived here almost my entire life. 

       I grew up in southwest Florida (Venice), spent lots of time with cousins in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, graduated high school in central Florida near St. Augustine (Palatka, on the St. John's River south of Jacksonville).  Settled in Tallahassee when I got out of the Air Force; I live on the coast just south of Tallahassee today.  

      I don't care how many hurricanes come.  It doesn't matter how humid it gets in the summer.   Florida is paradise!

For me personally, I would have to say that it's a pretty major factor, probably weighing in between 50-60% of my decision making process. Daily living, commuting, recreational - all reasons why I take local weather into account. However, it's certainly not the only factor that's important & wouldn't necessarily keep me from moving somewhere if everything else (Career opportunities, school(s) quality for the kids, quality of living, recreational, etc.) lined up perfectly.

I think for many people, where you are born is often where you live out the working/family raising part of your life. However, when making a change later on in life, I think weather has an important part in the decision making process. I, for example, hate humidity and would not volunteer to go anywhere with high humidity.

Well, I landed in Charlotte about 4 decades ago and loved it so, I stayed! I do love the weather here - I love having 4 seasons and being surrounded by green most of the year.

I don't know what percentage of having wonderful weather (and very few natural events in the decades since I've been here) but, I'm sure a little part of me stays for that reason.
