Ugh. I could never live in the desert. We lived in Oklahoma years ago, and the heat there was just horrendous. Growing up in MN, we were not able to adapt to it very well. Also, I like having four distinct seasons. The winters are pretty cold here, but I don't mind them too much. I just wish they only lasted a month or two. 3-4 months of winter is a bit much!Maybe south east. Arizona or Nevada.
