How bad are winters there?
Our first winter here was bad. We’d been told by all our neighbors that they generally had a few snow days each year, comparable to our previous city. But this past year we had the worst storm since 1985 (I think). They called it a ‘100-year storm’. Snow was on the ground for a full month. We were traveling when it hit & it had compacted into ice by the time we got home. We had an issue with a cover my husband had bought for his truck. Snow weight caused the struts on one side to collapse, although the structure held. There were many snow-related problems in other towns - collapsing roofs because of the weight. But that was unusual.
Right now it’s hot - 101 yesterday. We’ve managed to take all in stride. Air conditioning in the summer, & staying home if the roads are bad in the winter. It’s still a much happier place if you’re a conservative.
