20 Of The Worst States For Retirement In The US

17. Pennsylvania-- not comfortable weather

Pennsylvania has good broadband access, and average speeds are fast. But taxes and overall costs are high, and environmental quality -- including air pollution and sustainability -- scores poorly.

Pennsylvania's diverse terrain also produces a variety of climates, although the state has experienced cold winters and wet summers. The state spans two major regions, with most of the state having a humid continental climate (Korben Climate Classification Dfb) except for the southeast corner. The southern part of the state has a humid subtropical climate. The largest city, Philadelphia, has a subtropical humid climate (Koppen Cfa), but winters are significantly colder and snowy than most places with this climate.

Summer is usually hot and humid. As it moved into the mountains of the state, it became colder in winter, with more cloudy days and more snowfall.
