Ya, I live in RI, which is Northeast as well as Conn, but separate topic.
And we get Humid weather. Vermont might not. But I can say for a fact Mass, RI and Conn
all get nice hot and humid days. We get dry heat too. And living on the coast or RI, Newport,
we get a nice breeze which makes summer really nice (usually).
I wouldn't describe it as the best. We do sort of skip Spring.
I used to go to school in North Carolina. They had Springs and Fall.
Summer is miserable though. And Winter is just a like a cold Fall and Spring.
So its not really a winter. I wouldn't say thats the best. Don't know what
I would call the best climate. It all depends on what you like. People who prefer
colder weather are going to argue against the south. People who hate cold aren't
going to like the North. People who like all four season are probably somewhere in
the middle.
