I'd like to make snowballs, have a white Christmas, ride in a sleigh, build a snow fort and have to bundle up! I feel like I've missed out on a big part of being an Earthling! My husband did take me skiing once so I could see real snow but there was a heat wave and the snow wasn't falling! So, I want to know from any Northerners what it is that makes it so bad that no one wants to stay there for the winter. Give me some things to think about before we make the decision to move to the villages for good instead of heading up north to experience four seasons!

I may have a deal for you. If we manage to get moved to TV in the foreseeable future, we may very well still be stuck with our home up north. (I say stuck, my husband probably not so much). So while we're both in TV for the entire winter, maybe we can rent you our house up north during that time period and you can get your snow fix. In fact, if you want to experience fall too, no problem. We have a lovely tree lined street and beautiful woods behind our house.
Oh, did I mention I have great neighbors up here too? If they like you as much as they like us, they'll even invite you for holiday dinners.......
My husband made me edit to mention the nice large 2nd story solarium enclosed jacuzzi that we have at your disposal. It's really fun to be in that while the snow is falling.......preferably with wine on the side.
