I live in Wyoming and have most of my life we are close to the Montana burder and we love Wyoming but we are going to move 70 miles north so we can be closer to our family medical and shopping but we live in a nice quiet little town and in Wyoming you do travel to where ever you go I enjoy the winters but some people does not and depends on what area as to amount of snowfall but I cannot stand the heat either and our summers cannot compare to the east as we have no humidity I would suggest you visit here or try renting a place for a year and trying it but it is totaly different than where you live but of course I only was there for a short visit if you have any questions you may PM me and we could exchange emai addresses
