Are you kidding? It gets just cold enough to be miserable because it is so damp, but it never freezes. So when it does rain it is frigid, but usually it is just humid out, which means the dampness gets into your clothes and bones and it is just gross. You can bundle up against bitter cold, but this? No way.
Look, I live in a part of the country where it is 50 degrees or so most of the time from October to April, not always, because the weather is erratic, but most of the time. Last frost happens in late may. In the Atlanta area, it barely ever even gets below 50 degrees in late December, early January. I'm fine with the humidity, that makes it a nice cool rainy day for someone from Colorado. I just can't stand it when it gets to be 80 or 90 degrees and humid, which is why I never visit in the summer if I have anything to say about it.
I mainly like what parts I do like about the south because my grandparents and people like them are there. The old southern gentlemen/ladies, not the kind that mutter under their breath about how in their day, the coloreds had to sit in the back of the bus, but the well-spoken, well-educated, refined southerners.
Well, and because Appalachia has some beautiful scenery (actual scenery, like the mountains and trees. I'm not talking about the people).
And the sweet tea, even though more places west of the Mississippi are recognizing the value of that.
