Is taking a pay cut for a less stressful job, with better benefits, worth it?

I've been driving 45 minutes to and from work every day, up a mountain that gets significant snow early in winter, which is coming soon. I don't like my current job. Everyone is miserable. But I make good money. I was contacted today out of the blue from another company I helped train staff on and was asked if I was open to work. It's a 15 minute drive, full benefits, with a group of people I know I like. However, it's a pay cut of $4. Would you take the cut to make the positive changes or keep trudging through for that check?
