Rachel, our family moved out here from Rhode Island when I was 15 so I still remember the winters, we had to shovel out the sidewalk so the mailman could come and my Dad would shovel out the driveway and here would come the snow plow and he would have to start all over again. When I lived back there I used to love to go ice skating on the ponds, we lived in a small mill town. I couldn't get used to no snow here at Christmas especially when I was younger, but soon you get used to it, and when you miss the snow you go into the mountains about three hours from here and there is all the snow you want. We still do the usual lights on the house and go pick out our tree (thats quite another story)
At our age I think we will stay put now. Don't think I could handle the cold.
But it's a thought!
