Actually weather is one reason I wouldn't live in silicon valley - it doesn't really have any. It's either flatline boiling hot, or if you go north it's windy and foggy all the time. It's like being stuck in a never ending summer.

I live in England, where we get glorious boiling summers, wet and windy autumns, snowy winters. I know that's not for everyone, but the sheer variety is something I love.

To see the scenery and wildlife change by season is something that really makes life interesting.
