Brad, I agree we should not all want to be in the same place! nor judge others for not wanting that place. Your joy in your new place shines through.
I didn't move here because I was unhappy where I lived. (My husband did.) I couldn't go back now though, it's grown too much and in ways that don't sound good, in the time since I left it.
Like Cat, I need to be by the ocean. I grew up near it, and when I have tried being inland it didn't feel right. My parents cannot understand that. My dad chose the desert for his happy place, almost 50 years ago, but I like humidity (like Cat).
You have to find the spot ...
Cold weather is a tough one for me. I grew up where it never got below about 40 degrees, and although I have lived with snow (Los Alamos, Taos), I don't have that thing in me that loves snow. To me it's just a big hassle. I'm glad for you that you love plowing, I truly am! [

I'm where I want to be, you're where you want to be.
