gym or the great outdoors?

I am trying to decide whether or not to renew my gym membership. I live in Oklahoma where we have really hot summers and really cold winters. This summer I've been running outside in the early morning or after dark, because it's cooler, but I really prefer to work out right after work, around 5 PM. I know that it's going to be icy cold in a couple of months and I'm thinking I'll be more inclined to run if I have an indoor place to do it.

What are your thoughts on indoor vs. outdoor running?

I am so torn. Running outside I get a view, different routes, exercise for free, and alone time. But I also get temperature extremes, and running alone in the dark worrying about being grabbed by some psycho.

Running indoors I get temperature control, and a safe environment. I also get boredom, have to pay for it, and am restriced to working out during gym hours.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you worry about your safety while running outside? Do you pay for gym fees, or for all weather running gear?
