    There are none...

    Northeast: blizzards, ice storms & Noreasters

    South: hurricanes; suffocating humidity

    Midwest: tornadoes; blistering heat

    North: blizzards, double-digit negative degree temps

    West: fires, mudslides, blizzards, earthquakes (don't know how I could've forgotten those)

    Northwest: rain...rain...rain...more rain...oh & rain...

    Good luck...

    Western Washington - we have two seasons: "Rainy" and "About to Rain." Oh, and about two weeks of summer...

    (Actually not true, it does rain a lot but that makes it green and beautiful and we have some really nice days during the spring and summer.)

    I'm in Southeast TX and it's been beautiful here all day. But, I do know how the weather changes so much here! I call it bipolar weather. :)

    I live in Northern California and while we can have fires, mudslides and earthquakes, they don't happen all that often. You should move here. There is no humidity or snow.

    Just move further south. San Antonio doesn't get too many tornados... neither does the Rio Grande Valley. Although we did get one a couple of days ago. But that's rare! :tongue:

    Grew up in the Dallas area. Lived through the Lancaster tornado of 1993. Close as I ever want to be to another one.
    Moved further west... it's frakin' hot! No spring, just summer and hot as hell. :( I'll move with you!!

    Southern New Mexico actually has pretty decent weather.. no real extremes- just crazy dust storms occasionally in the spring. :)

    Dallas here. Remember, we have no income tax. Other states do, except for a handful.

    Good luck finding one that keeps consistent weather. I live in Kansas and back in January we had an 80 degree day followed by an almost tornado day, followed by snow day & later on the snow day it got up to like 70...Mother nature has got to be hammered.

    Well, we do have tornadoes in WI, BUT most homes (and a lot of businesses) have BASEMENTS in WI. Makes a huge difference in a tornado. A couple of years ago an entire town nearby was wiped off the map. There were no serious injuries, no fatalities. Everyone got to a basement, and basements don't blow away with the rest of the house.

    Hawaii is about as good as it gets. Well, there's those damn tourists and a "little bit" of traffic.:)

    Four of California's cities, including San Francisco and San Diego are in the top cities that have the least variable weather. That's where you should go. And so should I, since I'm in Hot as Hell Houston!

    I LOVE it here...except for days like today. Spent the entire afternoon watching the skys, looking for tornados, dodging hail, calling family and friends to make sure everyone is ok. THAT gets a little nerve-racking. Thankfully everyone I know is ok.

    NH is out- I got stuck in a random pop up hail storm 2 miles from my house yesterday. Then after it rained for a minute, the sun came back out.... New England...

    Live in Austin, born and raised in texas. Cant say i miss 6 months of blizzard as some states have. Its a trade off anywhere you go. Weather is everywhere, no one is safe from snow, rain or tornadoes

    :flowerforyou: I live in ABQ, NM.
    Weather is pretty, views are amazing, and it's rare to have a tornado even touch down, and unheard of for it to do anything.
    I love it here.

    LOVE LOVE Hawaii. Hopefully one day I can live there.

    And yes the storms in Dallas were terrible today. Glad my family, myself and my friends are all safe. Hopefully no more will happen tonight.

    I'm in Houston. Yesterday, we had a totally unexpected torrential downpour. Today - gorgeous. Though, it is already getting too hot and humid for my tastes... even though I have lived here my whole life!!

    Phoenix is about as non volatile as it gets. no hurricanes, tornados etc... it hardly even rains...sure its hot in the summer for a few months but its dry and much easier to handle than 95 with high humidity. and the rest of the year its perfect.

    I have lived in Dallas...near perfect except for those naders! I live in Houston now...too humid!!! And we did have a tornado touch down near my house in January. I lived in Oregon for 37 years. Don't know if I could do that much rain ever again...but summer is a perfect 83 degrees with LOW humidity! They do get earthquakes there, too. Just not as often as CA...

    Hawaii!!! :) we only get hit by hurricanes once every so many years and it's only the Big Island and Kauai that really gets it bad... I mean I think every place has something we have to be ready for!
