DH does have family two hours away but we are the only ones in our city. We have considered moving back to the Midwest to be closer to my family but the weather is a huge factor for me in staying put. Especially with little kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather/page/2#post-2024376 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:52:10 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2024376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to move back to Texas where family is, but my job is here for the next few years. Hopefully my next assignment is within 6 hours of east Texas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024267 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:10:44 +0000 pui 2024267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Part of me sees the attraction to moving somewhere where it's always "summer", but as much as I hate winter sometimes, I'd miss it lol. We'd never be able to leave it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024232 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:02:27 +0000 Espion 2024232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from oppositeville, because I wouldn't move, because I love where I live. But I'm pretty disappointed that we haven't had more snow. Our winter has been way too warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024173 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 19:29:33 +0000 IRunForFun 2024173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: @Rainbow Sprinkles: You make me want to move to the NW/PNW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024166 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 19:24:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2024166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think about it a lot! But I think it's out of my system now. My life would be a lot more hectic if I lived somewhere warm (aka my hometown). I like my peace and quiet :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024153 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 19:14:50 +0000 artsyfartsy 2024153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I don't mind winter weather and I think hot weather isn't better at all. Haha. Family and low cost of living trumps weather for me.</p> <p>Plus KY has beautiful springs and falls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024151 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 19:11:14 +0000 Grace 2024151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've thought of it. Moving somewhere where spring starts in February would be heavenly. But I don't see us moving away from family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024044 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:54:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2024044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it as a factor of a move but not my Main point. </p> <p>In FL I get cabin fever in the summer when it's too hot to go out and do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2024020 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:41:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2024020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. </p> <p>I live in the PNW and am obsessed with our weather. If we lived somewhere super hot and dry (texas, new mexico), or somewhere cold and/or more extreme (alaska, wisconson, new york) I don't think I could handle it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023998 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:24:51 +0000 Coffee-lover 2023998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we live in a southwest state that is hot all the time and has no seasons. We hate it! I grew up in the NW and we are considering moving there right as future DD (currently pregnant) is about to start school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023985 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:20:07 +0000 Maysprout 2023985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to move recently and weather / quality of life def went into the decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023982 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:16:27 +0000 Mrs.ThinMint 2023982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Alabama, and the weather is great. It rarely snows here maybe an inch or two once or twice a year. I couldn't live somewhere cold! Cost of living is also super cheap. We live in the biggest city in the state, so cost of living is higher here than anywhere else in Alabama, but it's still so much cheaper than other places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023972 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:11:25 +0000 Eko 2023972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have considered moving from MA to FL because of weather and being able to do more outdoor activities. I spent 4 years of college in Arizona so I know what it is like living in warmer weather. And sure, sometimes not having seasons can be boring, but I don't feel as bored as I feel about it being cold for months! My family is scattered throughout NE so I don't live next door or anything from my family. My dad and uncle live in FL in St. Petersburg and that's why we've considered moving there. We still continually think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023933 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 16:45:16 +0000 marionberry 2023933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't live in the South (AZ or FL) where people usually think of when it comes to nice weather, but I love the weather we have up here in the NW. Sure it rains a fair amount in winter but we have no humidity, warm summers, only a small bit of snow or ice in the winter, etc. And after living on the east coast, I realized how much I love it here. So to answer your question, no reason for us to move because of weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023917 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 16:37:48 +0000 mrs. bird 2023917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't move from MA because of the weather. I love have four seasons, we don't really get earthquakes or hurricanes, I view it as a pretty moderate environment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023817 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:33:31 +0000 mrsjyw 2023817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I hAve the same conversation every winter. For the right job opportunity we would move, though it would be hard to away from both our parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023815 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:31:53 +0000 BadgerMom 2023815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like having 4 seasons, but ideally I would live in a place where winter temps only got as low as the 30s or so. I'm sick of the bitter cold. But, no we probably won't move. Our family and friends are here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023795 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:23:44 +0000 Charm54 2023795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - I love having all 4 seasons. Nothing like those first few spring days after a long, cold winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023767 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:09:40 +0000 MrsADS 2023767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in south FL - yes, we have no seasons, it's warm all the time - and it's great. I don't miss winter or seasons at all, LOL :happy: I got really depressed with cold gray weather all the time. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me in January to walk out of my house to my car at 7:30 a.m. to go to work wearing a skirt, no tights/hose, and a short sleeve shirt!! </p> <p>It is super hot and humid in the summer but honestly, it's hot everywhere, right? </p> <p>But, that being said, there are a lot of horrible things about living here. Traffic is awful all the time, the cost of living is very high, and people are rude and nasty (I grew up in the south so I am not used to this and it really bothers me). </p> <p>This is the southeast coast of FL, though. If I had my pick, I'd move to another place in FL with less traffic and less NY/NJ retirees (no offense to people from those places - we get a lot of old cranky snowbirds who make going to the grocery store, running errands, driving, etc. miserable!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023751 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:03:13 +0000 looch 2023751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd totally do it. I really dislike cold weather and all the things that go along with it, such as black ice, having to put down salt/sand, delayed openings, school closings, having to leave my car at the office and take the train home, etc etc etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023748 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:00:46 +0000 photojane 2023748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we'd move for weather alone, but it may impact our decision. Luckily, we live in an area with four true seasons, and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023743 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:58:21 +0000 lamariniere 2023743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've thought about it, but I actually like having 4 seasons. I don't think I would want to live somewhere warm year-round...at least, not at this stage of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023739 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:56:31 +0000 MK0180 2023739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it - lived in Hawaii for 3 years. It was great but it kinda got old pretty fast. It was ridiculously expensive and (I hate to sound whiny) but it was the same weather every single day (even when it rained it was still pretty warm). I started to really miss having seasons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023732 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:53:52 +0000 Spinny 2023732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dying to move to a warmer climate, and it is part of a 5-10 year plan for me and DH. But, cost of living is so high, which also makes me want to move even though I'm NY born and bred and my family is here. It's difficult to justify living here when everything is so darn expensive.<br /> DH's family is in NC, and that kind of climate is ideal for me, seasons change but it generally doesn't get to be 6 degrees (like it was this morning here). If my family would go and DH had an easier time switching jobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023731 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:53:22 +0000 Andrea 2023731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tempting! We don't have any family around here anyway, but we do love NY so it would have to come with a really good job opportunity, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023728 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:51:37 +0000 alohaorchid 2023728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. Not right now because we have a lot invested in our careers in this area, but we will be making a move to a warmer climate in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023723 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:50:15 +0000 meredithNYC 2023723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. As much as the winter weather sucks, it makes me appreciate the other seasons so much more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-move-for-better-weather#post-2023718 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:48:53 +0000 Synchronicity 2023718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I can't imagine living anywhere without a real winter. I would like it if we could shorten our Ontario winters to only 3 months, though ;) </p>
