I actually don’t think there is an east coast solution, gotta go to the other coast. I would venture to say that CT is desirable from an east coast weather standpoint because you can almost always be outside year round and manage it; this year aside after you acclimate to the colder weather being in the 20’s and 30’s on a sunny day is not unpleasant. If you prefer cooler summers go a little north or warmer winters go just a little south. When you go south of Jersey you start to have the opposite problem. In Florida you stay inside all summer just like we do all winter, it’s too hot and rainy.
