I live in Wisconsin where we get big snowstorms at times, The snow is quite cold, it can be a pain driving in it since it can be slippery, and you have to shovel the snow off of your sidewalk and driveway and shoveling it can be a big struggle especially when it gets heavy, unless you have a snow blower, which is almost like using a lawn mower. Here is a pic of a snowstorm in my area about 6 years ago.

It is very cold

You should go somewhere to experience snow but a place that doesn't have it for months on end. I lived in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia and all three were great for snow, not too much, not too little. It is fun to experience but not fun when it lasts too long.

No it's not miserable, just challenging like constant heat, only unlike heat you can escape it. People enjoy the seasonality of it for a few weeks but if you move to a mid-continental setting you'll get cold winters and very hot summers whether you like it or not. Maybe you need to be where there are long Springs and Autumns... gradual change. Then you could get fed up with disappointing summers that aren't summers and winters that aren't winters.

Alternatively, plan to take trips to the mountains in the state where you live now!

Move north into the mountains of Ca. It is currently 44 degrees in the central Sierra foothills. It is colder and snowy in the higher mountains too. It's still crowded though. All the escapees from the bay area and so-cal came here with their "white flight"

I grew up in southern Arizona and wasn't sure about this winter stuff when we committed to a move north.

I came to love it. I really, really like four seasons rather than warm and hot but the same. I appreciate spring and summer in a way I didn't used to appreciate any season. In winter, we both enjoy being homebodies in front of a fire as well as going out and about. I do drive with more care and keep a meal or two in reserve so I don't have to go out in a blizzard. Watching it snow is serene. Shoveling is good exercise but not so demanding I can't do it any more.

What we did was invest in serious winter clothing, including down coats, the first year, then refuse to allow the weather to change our plans unless it was a bad storm. We wear sweaters or hoodies inside and we have throws on the sofa if we're chilly.

Don't let winter scare you off. You'd be ruling out some wonderful places.

When I lived in Central PA, pretty much every morning, I had to remove the snow from my driveway and put rock salt down to melt the ice.

I've always lived in places where it snows in winter so I'm used to it. I like the first snow of the season, but it gets old fast and I don't like the cold. If you really love the place you move to it's easier to adapt to the cold and snowy winters, but if you move somewhere and discover that you hate the place, you'll be miserable there. I have a friend who moved from southern California to the northeast and she seems happy with her decision to move. I guess it just depends on your expectations.

Do not move where there's snow. Snow is AWFUL. I lived in NE Ohio for 52 years, then moved to NC. Now even NC is too cold since the weather has changed. 17 years ago, it was great. Stay where you are.

You would eventually adapt. I love four seasons but snow, to me, is a four letter word. If it would stay off the roads and sidewalks I'd be okay with it. It's pretty when it falls and stays sparkly white but it turns to "snirt" (snow mixed with dirt) which is really ugly.

My advice is to visit somewhere that has snow and see how you feel.
