Live in Pacific Northwest and have loved it to this point, and still do but the winters are just too stressful. Just worry about what is going to break next and with the cold it is just a mather of time and something will. Sure hope this dinar ride will end in a happy note where I can retire and be able to go to a warmer area for winter. I am sure there are many more in the same boat and I wish all of you only the best that life has to offer and may all of your dreams come true and be the happiness you believed them to be. Have a fine and wonderful day. :)
