JohnA (RE: Where Young People Go To Retire): Portland, like Seattle would be a great place if it didn't rain all the time. There's a reason the city has one of the highest rates of suicide in the nation and it is not its overabundance of sunshine. Yeah, an hour to the coast and an hour to year-round skiing is cool, but I couldn't take the constant cloudy skies. I'll live and someday die in north Idaho, thank you very much.
Question: Have you ever lived in a place that you thought had near perfect weather year round? And/or: Describe a perfect day, temperature wise, in North Idaho?
