I am an Idaho transplant, now living in the southern part of the United States. I grew up in northern Idaho, not many miles from western Canada, and lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of my life.
Now that I am older, I no longer want to live where it is so cold in the winter, and I have shoveled all of the snow that I want to shovel in my lifetime. I really like the warmer climate here in northern Alabama, and that if we do get snow, it comes in inches and not feet, and it only stats for days, and not for half of the year.
Most of my life I lived in the country, and even though I now live in a city, my heart is still in the country.
