Do you like the climate/weather where you live?

I moved to Illinois 2 years ago and I do love the 4 seasons. I wish the summer would last a little longer though. We are never "snowed in" as the roads are cleared right away. I miss Manhattan but if I went back, I would miss Illinois and having my grandkids just down the block!

I was given the advice " Bloom where you are planted" which thru the years have been quite a few. I try to enjoy my surroundings and get to know people in my neighborhood and church. I especially like to hear the childrens voices while they are playing, and also wake up to band music every morning while the high school band is practicing two blocks away. The climate doesn't annoy me one way or another, but hope you get adjusted soon.

We also love the seasons, so we don't really want (nor can we afford) coastal California type living. Neither of us has lived in major snow areas, so we are a little hesitant to move to a place where we would be snowed in for 6 months of the year. Is there a place where it is NICE to be outside a large portion of the year???

My taste in seasons, as in fabrics, runs more toward "colorful"!

Wrightwood, CA, aka "Land of Four Seasons," is just about perfect. http://wrightwoodcalifornia.com/coun...y/seasons.html

We have loved living in Hawaii (Honolulu) for the past 15 years. The weather is fabulous and we do have seasons. We just have to watch for them as they are pretty subtle. Because it is so expensive to live here, we will retire back to where we came from (Boise, Idaho).

We live in Florida & no thanks. It is too hot & TOO HUMID. Can't stand to go out in the summer or 6-8 out of the year.Will be moving,hopefully, to MN soon. Most favorite place for us(We are 68 & 75) is Montana. It is beautiful, NO sales tax yes do have some snow & NO humidity. We did not even need AC when we lived there. Did NOT have all the bugs & insects only beautiful mountains & wildlife!! Every year we had a doe bring her twins (still with spots through our yard. We loved watching them.
