Thanks Lyn. I have lived here so long that anything above 70 is bordering on too warm.
Not being picky, and realize no place is perfect. I was born in Oakland Calif but never lived there over three months when I was small. Not my kind of place at all. Entire mom's side is from there.
I do love winter, just not so much of it. Nor as cold. I realize to have snow you have to have below 32F. Maybe Nov-Feb?
In a place with adequate rain and good soil. Close but not too close to amenities. Oh, I did say I wasn't being picky didn't I?
