-> I tried MT, ID, WA, and OR too.  Of all the states I've lived in I think 
I
-> and CA have been best.  I'm willing to try NM and AZ though.  I don't like
-> shoveling snow.  My husband is from CT and was always telling me how great
-> having four seasons was and how he wanted to get back to that. He even 
aid
-> that he wouldn't mind shoveling the snow.  They sent us to Northern Japan
-> where the only thing between us and Siberia was water.  He shoveled the 
snow
-> twice then I had to take over.  NEVER AGAIN.  It averaged 180" of snow a
-> year there. BRRRR
Shovel snow?  Now why would anyone want to do that?  I did that when I was a
kid but have gotten smart in my old age.  I found out that there are people
around these days with plows on the fromt of their trucks that like to get up
very early in the morning.  If you are willing to pay them they will come and
push all of that snow right out of your way before you even get in the 
ower!
It snows an average of probably 100 - 120 inches or so here.  Now about 80
miles from here is a place called Barnes Corners NY.  They normally get about
400 inches a year.  I have seen pictures of the place after a big one and it
was of a guy standing next to their only traffic light.  Yes I did say NEXT 
o
it!!!
