verlyn12 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have lived in South Dakota all of my 62 years and its winters like this I wonder what the heck am I thinking? Winter started here Oct 4 with a blizzard and 30 inches of wet snow that caused terrible damage and livestock loss. It has been so very cold but not a lot of snow and lots of really bad wind-60 mph to cause -50 wind chill. Tomorrow morning it is supposed to be -40 wind chill. So glad I retired in Dec and do not have to dive 90 mi a day in a very sparsely populated area. I think we have 7 months of winter and 5 months of spring. Not looking forward to the nice weather to stay until probably May. But ultimately I don't know of any place I would rather live. Low population, no traffic issues, no crime factor and when the weather is nice it is absolutely beautiful. Also, no unemployment issues is also a big deal. I would like to go south to AZ or NV for a couple of weeks but I have grandkids ballgames to go to and that keeps us busy. The favorite saying here in farm country is "maybe it'll be better next year." Will have to wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm glad you do.... I can't wait to get the hell out of here..... We left New England in 1996... Couldn't take the snow. Colorado is nice but we're having snow and frigid cold here too. -9 low, only +3 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a couple of houses we really like, but the weather isn't good enough to take a househunting trip yet. If you're really looking for some really good housing prices Vegas is still good, but the Phoenix valley is better. Incredible prices. I would have gone there but the wife wants Vegas since we have friends that live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone there but the wife wants Vegas since we have friends that live there. We owned a townhouse in Vegas for a couple of years and really liked the area. Property taxes are really low and there is always something to do even if you don't gamble. Lots of things that don't cost a lot of money if you're on a budget, too. If you want some info pm me. Happy House Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to stay at least a day's drive from my kids, so we're looking in the Smoky Mt area, NC, SC, GA, TN... who knows it's still 3 - 5 years away. A lot can change in that time.

ilmor Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have traveled a fair amount on business over the years and have seen a lot of places. My favorite place is right here at home! The New England winters are a little longer than Maryland where I lived before, but overall the equal balance of the seasons is actually kind of a nice thing. I grew up in south Florida and really did not like the heat and humidity. The late spring, summers and fall here are really nice! Heck, no one would be in Florida without air-conditioning. It really boils down to what each person or family thinks is "good", and/or what works out best for them. There are pluses & minuses no matter where one lives. Most of the places that people want to move to have been moved to by far too many, and now those spots are, or are fast becoming, overcrowded and traffic-infested.

Pete Grimaldi Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Winter just keeps coming! The governor is shutting down Boston from what I have heard for this evening. Western MA is a bit better today. 10" more on the ground from yesterday's storm though. My wife and I are taking the front wheel drive Fusion to a concert tonight.

Highly recommend mountains of NC. Ping me if you ever want some good suggestions, but you really can't go wrong. It's all beautiful up there.
