I think you should just wait a couple years until this global warming kicks in. At that point tourists by the thousands will flock to the beautiful beaches of Lake Superior and you can sell them fresh water and sno-cones! Everyone will want to be a Yooper and you'll be envied because you are one of the natives.
try 9 months of excessive heat and 3 months of almost manageable heat. you couldn't pay me to live in arizona.
Come to Pennsylvania, further south than Michigan. You can buy my house so I can then move to Florida! Texas would also be nice, but all of wife's relatives are in Florida and I don't want to give her something to bitch about by moving to Texas. Flnudistcpl wrote: Sounds like Paradise Lakes resident!
The economy here is horrible. Housing is crap and when it is 120 degrees outside everyday for months, you will agree that it is just as bad as winter. We'll see how you deal with the excessive heat when you actually get in it. IT SUCKS. Remember, you can add more clothes in the winter but you can only take off so many in the summer. People think Arizona is such a great place to live, but I have not found out why after 5 years. To me it is just dried up, burned up desert. At least the Phoenix area is.
Well, I would invite you to central ny. However we are curretly getting snow faster than we are loosing jobs. But, no snakes, no poisonous bugs, no fires, no floods, no twisters, no mudslides, no dust storms, 3 days of plus 100 degrees in the past 10 years. but on the other hand no driving hot rods from november till april.
Not too many people, if any really, mentioned the Mid-Atlantic. Im in Maryland and frankly, love knowing what season it is when i step outside. The trees change color, fall and spring are actually....warm. Summer, hot. Winter, cold. Just enough winter to get a project worked on for spring. 2-3 good snows a year then its done. Enough summer heat to just about annoy you them bam it cools down. D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis are both 1 hour away. Philly is 2.5. Delaware and Maryland Beaches are 3 hrs. The Chesapeake Bay is a little over an hour. Skiing/snowboarding....1 hour. Real estate is still a little higher than other places, but there are bargains out there and still a good amount of homes on the market. Even though I like where i live, im sure my girl and I will pick up and move somewhere just to do it within a few years. Then probably move back. Both of us want to try something different before she starts poppin out kids.
What is worse, spending 6-8 months waiting to have fun and be warm or a few months of heat. We have so many mosquitoes and sand flies that you have to walk backward to breathe, and then the horse and deer flies come out, and if you want to go to the beach, the fish flies come out, which are like house flies but bite and there are LOTS of them, so don't tell me about bugs being a problem. Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful here and no traffic, but we don't see the sun from the middle of December till the middle of Feb. hardly at all. People pop Vitamin D like crazy. If we had half the winter we get, I'd be alot happier.
Da34guy, I love your snow sculpture!! I think you live near Prescott don't you? I'm planning on coming down there in a two years when I can retire. I have some good friends that live there and I like the area. I see someone almost burned their car collection down yesterday in Prescott (I get the daily email from the Prescott Courier). Lots of Hot Rodders there and it isn't too far a drive from California and all the neat stuff to do there. I'm hoping to visit in January on the way out to the GNRS. In South Dakota we are having a heat wave today. It's 5 degrees above zero today, the first time it's gotten above zero in days. All weekend it was below zero with 25 to 50 MPH winds for days, wind chill at -30 to -50 and some snow to boot. You had better hope your car doesn't break down out here, or you'll freeze to death before you get very far. I think the snow must be in Omaha by now it blew so damn hard! I'm not looking forward to getting my heat (gas) bill this month. In the summer the humidity and the bugs suck too. I don't like playing the West Nile Virus lottery either. Nasty place to live period.
If you want to get away from all that bad wheather hudsoncustom is right.I was talking to some fellow Michiganders and they all said the same thing "when we can get outta Michigan we're heading straight for Mt.Vernon Wash.
live in Paradise, St.Thomas, USVI. 85 in the winter and 95 in the summer. However, I am the only Hotroder. If you move here, there will be 2 of us. I built a 29 Roadster in 03, and just finishing a 29 Pk Up very soon. You can build year round, paint out side if you so desire. Inspection checks lights, wiper, horn, and emergency brake. If the exhaust is noisy they may check for leaks. I don't even go. I call a guy that does it for me and brings a sticker and the paper work and all is well. Cost a little more but NO hastle. Ice man
arizona has seasons,,,fall -kids go back to school ,winter -snowbirds flock in with motorhomes spring-snowbirds leave and streets are safe again,summer- its hot and the A/C is on everywhere
I'm about in the same boat. Sick of the cold and snow. It made it over 40 on saturday, so I took my Comet out. Got up today and it was 2. Even the daily with EFI took a couple cranks to get going. When I get out of school and have a better chance at a decent job I'm outta here, probably to Texas. Too many hurricanes in Florida and AZ is a little too hot for my taste.
well ohio sucks too,,dont move here,,its been rain,,sleet,,and freezing rain,yuk,yuk,yuk,,also my friends tried to find work in florida,,they couldnt find nothing in 2 weeks,,so i would say arizona,,thats where im heading,,and good luck to you my friend,,thanks tc
move to florida's west coast...we have lots of hot rodders in the area...500+ cars at the last billetproof show......
yep and there are plenty of NY pizza joints around here....spring hill is like a little ny city...lol they all moved to florida
well you can rule So Cal out..... last week was unbearably arctic - rain and temps dipping down into the 40's for at least a few nights in a row, at the beach no less. Unfuckinbelievable. Had to put my mitties on to drive to work in the roadster today. looks like its tough all over. But Mich don't look reasonable either....
yep, Houston isn't a bad place. tons of machine shops because of all the oil business, and it'll make the drive to the Round Up easier.
I have a friend here in St. Petersburg that might be looking for someone with CNC experience. Pay here is lower than up north but so are the living expenses. Weather here is predicted to be in the 70's this week. Call me at 727-420-8854 during the day and I'll get you in touch with him.
hey easy on the yankee stuff// we are not all from NY down here......there are a few good hot rodders from RI TOO
Oklahoma is great except for Dec. Jan. Feb. If you can get thru those 3 months with out losing your mind life is good.
my aunt lives down in nc in the charolette area. she loves it and it sounds real good. all my relatives want to move down but havnt made the jump yet
Well, New Zealands not bad this time of year. Summertime is great anywhere!! Get used to having a BBQ for Xmas lunch rather than turkey or ham, tho you can still have that if you want to. Only 4 million people in the whole country and our dollar is worth about half the US$. Plenty of sheep (about40 million) Strong hot rod scene and the beers are better than Aussie. Hey what ever you do, have a great Xmas & lets all hope for a better New Year.
I'll say it again, Florida, Texas, and anything east of New Mexico has HIGH humidity, which makes it worse that any Arizona day I'm in Phoenix, we are 6 hours from Vegas, 5 hours from the Pomona swap meet (every 6 weeks) 6 hours from the ocean, 2 hours from snow in the winter. I'm originally from western Pa. and despise humid days. The desert is the place for me. Oh, and we only have mosquitos about 1-2 months out of the year if that long, and house flies are almost non existent.
