i still want the possibility of snow every once in awhile. i'm also fascinated by thunderstorms. not much could top when i was living in nebraska in the 80's. spectacular storms that decade.
If you like lightning then Tampa is for you. No snow since I have been here though.

 
Florida is the lightning capital of the world //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
that probably correlates with the amount of square miles of water the state is. 90% of lightning never comes down out of the clouds. because of the flat land in nebraska, i could sit for hours as a kid and watch the lightning shoot up out of thunder heads in the distance. i grew up on a farm, so was bored most of the time. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Yeah, I love watching thunderstorms. We get some crazy ones here (In a much, much different way than in Arkansas)

Here, you'll be sittin there watching TV, and in the span of 10 minutes, it goes from bright and sunny to pitch black and it rains like crazy. Lightning striking everywhere every few seconds. This lasts for 10 minutes. Another 10 minutes later, it looks like nothing ever happened.

In Arkansas, you look at the radar, and see a giant badass front coming. And you duck and cover.

nebraska was the same way as arkansas. you see a big red and yellow cell moving your way, and to the cellar we'd go. it's not like that as much anymore there. we had a string in the 80's with some terrible super cells and a few blizzards of 3+ feet. oklahoma and kansas got pounded hard that decade as well.
