The fact that you love winter in NE Ohio makes you very different, I’ve lived in NE Ohio and currently live in Wisconsin. Winter is not my favorite (if I was in charge of the weather, December would be snowy, and come January the thaw and spring would start) but give me a WI winter over NE Ohio anyday. NE Ohio is subject to the “permacloud” or lake effect cloud from the Great Lakes that gives nearly perpetual grey skies from November-April. That was miserable, at least here in WI we get the sun in the winter, it may be colder, but when we have those -20 highs, it will be bright sunshine.

Here in Cleveland with this cold front that has been hanging around we have been getting a nice share of clear, blue skies... But frigid cold, obviously. This year I feel like we have had much more sun shining which has been nice.

I've found that snow sports/activities are much less enjoyable without snow. Also found that sunny/blue sky/cloudless days are much less likely to result in snow. I have friends who don't understand why I go out on Lake Erie when there are a lot of waves. But have also found that sailboats move much faster when there is wind. Wind causes waves (extended periods of time with winds out of the northeast on Lake Erie tend to result in lots of big waves). Winds out of the south can result in good sailing days on the south shores of Lake Erie. But by in large the closer to glass the surface of Lake Erie is, the lousier the sailing experience on the lake. All of that to say that if you enjoy experiences that are better in certain weather conditions, you are less likely to find such weather conditions miserable. The opposite can be true as well. As always, different flavors of ice cream. :)

It seems most everyone else here arguing for either side finds owning a vehicle a necessary evil, and the more conveniences that car provides, the better. Nothing wrong with that, but I feel like Jeff's first comment that kind of started this whole discussion--"Once you go electric, you'll never go back"--completely ignores one of the most basic fundamentals about being human: we like different s**t.

For what it's worth, Jeff wasn't really far off the mark:

Around the world, 92 percent of electric car drivers indicated that they would purchase another electric car as their next vehicle; four percent would opt for a plug-in hybrid if they had to replace their car tomorrow. Only one percent indicated they would return to a gasoline or diesel-powered car.

How much of that is self selection though? The people buying electric clearly thinks they fit their lifestyle. I’m glad it’s now at a point that people aren’t having regrets about it, but that is not applicable to the rest of the population due to selection bias.
