Same, but from Seattle. Maybe it's just those of us who are broken, but I'm immensely happier when it's sunny. I'll grant you, I find reasons to be grumpy sometimes when it's nice out (too damn hot, no AC in the house, whatever), but overall I'm vastly happier. Anyone who knows me would say the same. The thrill of a really nice day is gone, but on balance my situation is improved. Not only that, but after a decade or so, I've come to even appreciate the rare grey or rainy day for what it reminds me of, rather than kicking off a cycle of despair.
I think that's what it comes down to. Sure we might get used to the sunshine and not have as great an emotional lift as when you first see it after months of bleak gray, but the constant positive impact in the day-to-day is by far and away the greater benefit.
That stress reduction and mood enhancement cascades into other aspects of your life such as your sleep, relationships, overall stress level, etc.
I'd make the move again any day of the week. If anything I regret not moving here sooner (largely due to housing prices).
