10 Places you can work and avoid the cold
Winter can really take its toll on some people. The cold weather, slippery ice, treacherous snow, many aspects don’t appeal to some folks. And there are some real effects on overall mood and behavior. Shorter and colder days usually means people spend more time indoors and have a tendency to become less active. Our bodies also produce more melatonin when the sun sets, and that makes us sleepy. Lower energy levels can also be attributed to our primitive instinct to eat heavier, heartier meals—like in survival times.
Now all of these “winter blah” symptoms vary for each individual, and some people aren’t affected by the cold at all. But if you’re not ready to hit the slopes or pull on those snow boots any time too soon, then you may want to consider your next assignment in one of these areas. Luckily the United States affords us several options that boast year-round idyllic conditions. Criteria include comfortable temperatures, dry weather, and mainly clear skies.
