One beautiful day will obliterate mountains of grousing and moaning. Winter around here seems more like an elephant pregnancy than a human in its interminable nature, so when spring finally pops out, I’d bet that we’re probably the happiest people in the Universe. Who would ever want to get out of here? That’s what we start thinking and saying when spring springs forth. And, we maintain that attitude until about October when we’re still enjoying beautiful fall days but gradually dreading what’s ahead. For now, there’s no dread/Marianne Love, Slight Detour. More here.
Question: Have any of you said mentioned once, over the past two winters, that you were thinking about moving elsewhere?

North Dakota, but then they have it worse.

DFO: “…thinking about moving elsewhere?”
Never. Oh, I get tired of winter, like anyone else. But, then I’ll catch a sight of something, like the full moon setting over CDA Lake this morning.
It is then that I’m reminded why I’ll never leave Idaho.

Every winter, all winter long I think of moving. Then I stay.

I’m with John, I love it too much here to ever leave. We put up with the winters to enjoy the spring and summers even more.
