snow or sand

It is about that time in the winter where I start to really hate our weatherman. They are predicating another storm this afternoon and when I see that snow start to fall again I very well may loose my mind. This is also about the time in the winter when I start to say to myself, "Why do I live here?!"

So I'm going to ask a question that always causes a debate. And don't let my obvious preference sway you in any way.

Are you a beach person?

Or are you a mountains person?

If you had your way, which would you prefer year around? Do you need seasons? Do you like being snowed in? Do you like having sand in your house? (Or whatever the equivalent would be to being snowed in)
