If you moved from the West Coast to the East Coast (or vice versa), I want to hear about any culture shock you experienced!

Maybe you got to FINALLY experience four true seasons for the first time after growing up in a place where the weather was sunny all year?

Perhaps you had to get used to driving in rush hour traffic after only exclusively taking public transit in your last city?
