About 30 years ago I moved from Pennsylvania (where there were fist fights over the parking spaces people spent hours shovelling out before the snow froze into one solid block of ice) to North Carolina, where the weather is much like the Napa Valley area of California, but the cost of living is much lower.

Today it is 45 degrees fahrenheit (about average for this time of year). We have all 4 seasons, but winter is short.. normally only cold enough for a winter coat in January and February...the rest of the time I wear a light jacket. By mid April, everything is blooming again.
