I lived in missouri for 9 years (and pronounced it missery) it's not hell, but you can see it from there.
actually there was some real nice weather for about 2 weeks in early october every year. other than that you just had the 4 seasons- too cold, too wet, too hot, too windy.
to be fair though, weather aside, when it comes to getting a good meal at a reasonable price, you got it all over Hawaii.
