Ya, have some good friends that i grew up with that have been there for quite a while and love it. I don't like winter in new england. Makes me just want to stay indoors. I want to be able to drive my car and bike all year round.
I don't like winter anywhere, and the older I get the less I like it at all. Couple that with ultimatums and a few new stressors and it makes for life changes that are my idea.
