I keep on kicking around moving out West. Actually close to my family here though, so I can't see leaving.

its funny, i cant imagine living anywhere else! the snow is rarely a burdon, its usually welcomed, i.e. snowboarding in bridger or big sky! winters are long though, just more time to get the rides ready for spring debut!

I would not mind the snow. I love it here when there is snow. But it is fairly rare, and it is often biting cold with the windchill, and icy. Chicago area frankly sucks. Currently it is raining daily for a week so far, before that there was a day or two nice with a week preceding it of rain. This Summer was an average of about 68 degrees. And I kept a pool clear all summer to swim in it 4 times. And those only with the heater on.

We've only seen a trace so far this season here in western NY, but it's coming! We get that cold lake effect snow off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario that just dumps loads of snow on us from December to March! The shovels are ready!!
