I live in a place with windy winters. Wind for a week+ at a time.
It really starts to get old after a few months.

same here in north east NJ. we usually get signifigant snow (6 inches or more) maybe 4 times between late december to late march. we have some years where it goes apeshit and we get 4 big snows in February, but thats pretty rare. people from the south think we get snow all the time because it stays cold and that old snow just turns into concrete and sticks around so long. western NJ though, which due to higher elevation is a big difference. some parts of western Jersey, the snow blows in, then keeps blowing in and people tend to stay where they are for a week or more til it clears up. my dad lived in west NJ for 20 years and he hated all the snow because he still had to get to work in NYC every day, his commute one way went from 1 hour to who the fuck knows when.

People have a thing about living in the mountains. They're willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of people to be close to them.

A lot of Wyoming is flat sagebrush prairie and the wind does blow down there. People think about Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons but a lot of Wyoming is pretty desolate. The wind is relentless in a fair amount of North Dakota as well.

Parents live a fair distance outside of a town of 2,000 people in MS. The town is now getting a starbucks, aldis and chick-fil-a. Crazy. Guess people fleeting towns now expect things.

Kittatinny Mountain (Lenape: Kitahtëne[1]) is a long ridge traversing primarily across Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey, running in a northeast-southwest axis, a continuation across the Delaware Water Gap of Pennsylvania's Blue Mountain (also known as Kittatinny Ridge). It is the first major ridge in the far northeastern extension of the Ridge and Valley province of the Appalachian Mountains, and reaches its highest elevation (the state's highest), 1,803 feet, at High Point in Montague Township. Kittatinny Mountain forms the eastern side of Wallpack Valley; the western side comprises the Wallpack Ridge (highest elevation: 928 feet (283 m) above sea level.Kittatinny Mountain - Wikipedia

Woah 7 degrees difference its like two totally different seasons! You can drive across NJ in less than an hour, that doesn't qualify for any extra geolocation descriptors.

You sire, must have never driven in NJ. You cant go three miles in an hour much less across a bridge or the entire state in an hour.

I lived in the boonies mostly. Only had to drive 95 regularly the last 2-3 years before I moved. Nothing like going from 80 mph to a dead halt with 4-5 lanes

it takes about a half hour to get from the Lincoln or Holland in NYC to the toll booth in NJ. another half hour just to get from there over to Rt 80. if you are hitting up the Jersey Shore, 90 minutes to 2 hours and then add another hour if you feeling frisky and want to see Wildwood. this state is small but it takes a long time to get through it.
