We ended up staying here because are 90+ days are limited to a handful and sub-0 days are limited, also. Are precip numbers are also passable. Flooding and blizzards happen but are dealt with pretty quick.
I do admit, though, that eastern Kentucky and
Velo Vol and
datlas 's areas had a certain draw for us for the beauty and the riding.
BTW, Mrs. T had a fire (gas) going yesterday .
It would be nice to find a balance. The coastal areas of California are nice but cost prohibitive for a serf like me. Some of the mountain areas are still cheap enough but now we have fires running all over them. I think the heat here is worse than it used to be but I don't have data at hand. I just know it's going to be 108 today and it's already almost 90.
