Before folks start on the "horrible weather" band wagon I'd like to remind everyone that the only place in the country with perfect weather is either California or Hawaii. Central are tornados, floods, rain, humidity. East coast snow, ice, rain. South east, tornados, floods, rain, humidity. South rain, floods, humidity. BUT, the down falls to Hawaii are both cost, and you can't drive. California is fires and earthquakes, and everyone would be driving across country. So, I propose we not consider weather and look stricktly at the locations and how they measure up. I'm not going to voice an opinion on this because it was only my second National, AND, I happen to be from Colorado. Obviously from the distance stand point I really liked having it here!!
