<p>Our CA friend is wondering what it’s like to LIVE in the cold. And it can be cold–but it’s not terrible. Many days in the winter the sun is really warm and although it may be only 15 or 20 degrees, you will not feel the need to scurry. If the wind is blowing, you may hurry a bit! But that is certainly not the case all of the time. The last few years have been very snowy, but once snow is cleared and moving about is possible again, it’s actually very lovely. Yes, winter does get a bit long here and most of us are very ready for Spring this time every year, but I still wouldn’t want to live anywhere the seasons don’t change. </p>
<p>As for being cooped up all winter, I guess I can’t answer that. Never lived anywhere else, and have never given that any thought. The short winter days make indoors pretty appealing!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
