My vehicles are in a garage. The plow comes and leaves me literally about 3 feet long of a path to shovel. I never have to clean my car off either. My porch is covered and we throw about 2 cups off salt off the deck to cover everything. It's really not the problem you make it out to be for all and it beats shitting my pants while boarding up my windows or sitting in a traffic jam for 5 hours trying to get out of town.

Your population may be smarter. though. I'll give you that.

I'm originally from Queens and would rather live here but vacation in NY.
The hurricane season is really much like your blizzards as far as preparation goes(imo). Except we get much more of a notice. The hurricane season has only recently been active. Knock on wood, I didn't have to put the shutters up at all this year. Which only takes 30 minutes tops to put up. I can remember many years not ever having to put them up at all.



No way could I afford to live up north.

oh and did i mention that the highways and road system here in upstate NY fuckin blows ass. we have all this development and ppl moving out of albany and into the burbs but yet no highways or even 4 lane roads are built. traffic is horrid around here. its goten so pathetic and so bad that they are installing "round abouts" aka circles to ease traffic. piss poor planning around here. build 5,000 homes yet leave it a 2 lane road. with red lights....yeah dont get me started. i'm so glad i live in FBNY country living is great

When we drove through the Syracuse, Albany and Buffalo areas driving to Cleveland, we thought we were in Montana or something. It was a very quiet and very boring drive. Lots of farmland and alot of other areas seemingly left for nature for miles on end. I felt like i was in the middle of nowhere up there and that's coming from a guy from Maine. Boy, it was very much "Country Living" from what we saw. There wasn't alot to view while driving except for mile after mile of grapes! LOL

You all are nuts.....

I sure as shit don't miss shoveling snow, chopping ice off the front stoop, spreading the salt over the side walks or digging out the cars after the snow plow went through.

Your summers are probably more unbearable than mine.
I can watch a sunrise off the Atlantic in the morning, drive an hour and watch it set on Gulf.
...and I can play golf, softball, basketball, swim, fish etc. ALL YEAR LONG.

I don't pay a state tax.

above all else you mentioned. this sold me years ago. why pay 2k a year for NYS taxes? its bullshit. nys sucks. stupid libs.

i honesly dont think i will live anywhere else...i love fl...the weather is unbeatable....hurricanes ad all that stuff really isnt that bad

It isn't bad unless you are one of the ones hit by it.

As much as everyone loves Florida, and they do. I couldn't live there. Everyone up here goes down there on vacation but they all say the same thing. It's a nice place to visit but i wouldn't want to live there. My Fiance's parents own a place down there and they go down every year usually between October and March. They like it but the stress brought sometimes from trying to reach them every time tornado's touch down or hurricanes hit isn't always worth it. I've never had to board my house up or move sand bags. I can imagine having to do that. Their friggin' neighbor lost their dog a few months ago to a gator. The thing got out of the house and sure enough, they went down back near the water just in time to watch it happen. I seriously was like WTF???

They also woke up one night and when her mother was going to the bathroom she noticed a snake wrapped around the bottom of the toilet that was about 4 feet long. She was half asleep and almost had a heart attack. They also have boarded their windows up about 4 times in the last 2 years and i swear, they never seem to have a peaceful month there but when you get to that age, alot of people's bodies do not like the cold.

70 here....i think i see one cloud in the sky...not sure though

[Spark]

I hear ya'

When we watch t.v. and see the destruction everywhere from Hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes, along with stupid little problems like deadly sharks, snakes & gators ... We have very little to worry about up here. Snow and cold. That's it. In the summer, you can swim in water anywhere and sleep in the middle of the woods too without any worry about animals anywhere. We do very much enjoy not worrying about any of that stuff. Watching the news and the lives that get destroyed daily by this stuff is shocking and pretty scary too.
