Well ... most places I've lived have been job-related ... and I've worked at university settings most of my life - when I exited academia I was living in NC. I moved here in 1982 .. and the climate was MUCH milder ... warm/non-existent winters and summers that started in July, NOT in April. Conditions have progressively become more extreme, with icy winters and a 1-week spring, followed by months of 90+ F summer with 90+% humidity levels. I had never had to start up the A/C in April before. Hence the whining in this thread.
But, since the house mortgage is paid off, I don't anticipate relocating any time soon in this economy.
