l use to live in chicago loved the spring,summer and fall, was use to the cold. l live in west tennessee and the summers are misery. l don't know where its best. we are good til june thru aug. l can take cold weather but hate the heat. l did like northern Arizona when l was there. Chicago rarely gets hot. this is a bad year across most of the country. Seems like every year everything goes up but the pay check. its so hot here the birds are pulling worms with pot holders...thats hot
