Sorry, but the southern Midwest is as hot as Texas in the Summer and the plains make it alternating blizzard and tornado country year round. The Great Lakes tend to moderate the surrounding climate in the north, as do the woodlands and hills to the east. The coldest recorded temperature in Ohio was minus 39. It’s minus 47 in Nebraska, minus 40 in Iowa, and the same in Missouri. But we seldom see temperatures below zero. Add in four distinct seasons, cost of living, quality of education outside the city districts, comparatively friendly people, and it’s actually a very nice region to live in.
Nobody wants to live in looterhoods
