went out this morning and shoveled around 8-10 inches. nice and lite because it's so cold. 10* in the sun. not much of a snow so I didn't bother taking photos. when it starts getting 2 feet or more , that's a blizzard.

A serious question so it gets a serious answer..... A variety of things Brad... Location, finances, jobs, age, schools, demographics, weather, are but a few of the reasons. For instance, I'd like to move to the southern part of NC or the northern part of SC. Have wanted to for over a decade. But my wife works for the state, and she still has 6+ years to go before she can retire with a full pension. If we were to leave now, we'd lose her pension and all her health benefits. With the new Obama health care taxes,  it would be impossible for us to loose those benefits and survive. It sucks, but there it is. So we're stuck here.Plus I think we're getting to the point in our lives where it's too late to learn an entirely new language. Y'all speak kinda funny ....

it's a vicious cycle. if I made this money down there i'd live like a king. making this money up here and I can barely keep my head above water. I just cant make this kind of money down there so when I retire in about 10-12 years i'll do the snowbird thing and then you'll have your cool person from up here.

The finance thing I hear alot. Seems to be the common factor. A friend of my wife with the same degree is makin 5x as much as she does livin in NYC. My wife was all down and out until her friend was discussing finances with her. 70K for an apartment, 15K for parking, 400-500 a week on meals?!?!?!?! I told my wife her friends makin it, she just aint keepin it. Id rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable(and snowed in) any day, lol......

It's all relative. Many of my wife's relations live in NE Ohio. They can't believe how expensive groceries are here, or how much a take-out pizza is here compared to "back home." Of course, the wages in NE Ohio aren't anything to write home about, either. If we sold out and moved there we could buy a heck of a place. Not that we're about to.
By the way, I took the ol' Pipe Dream out on a maintenance run Saturday. It was breezy and in the upper 50s. Yesterday was mid 60s. Of course it's getting a little chilly the next two nights.
