For reference on the N. Amer. continent, the border between North Dakota and South Dakota is almost precisely on the 46N latitude line. (According to my new DeLorme GPS-enabled computer map.)

At present, and within moderate range, from there west there's little of anything; and from there east it's mostly tornados, floods, and other disasters. That's probably a temporary thing eastward, but to the west I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope for seasonal improvement, at least until you cross the crest of the mountains near the west (US) coast.

To the west from the Dakotas, the scenery is gorgeous but you can't see a lot of it 'cause there's always some %@#!^! mountain and a bunch of trees blocking the view.
