A Good place to live if you can stand the weather

I lived in Sioux Falls for 14 years - just moved away 5 months ago. Other than the weather, the town has everything anyone could want. It's not New York, but there is plenty of culture and things to do (I miss that). Great hospitals and schools. Housing costs and insurance are reasonable. Crime is not too high for a town its size and the people are very trusting. With all that said, it has some of the worst weather of all the places I have ever lived. The winters are harsh, lasting for months. Sunshine is rare. The summers are hot and humid, with lots of mosquitoes. If you take it one season at a time, it's not so bad; taken as a whole, the constant extremes will do you in. Sioux Falls would be THE choice to live if it wasn't for the weather.
