Hi Posh 08,
We had our fill of the same weather for decades in Louisville (and Doug in Ohio, before moving to Louisville), and when we came to TV in 2007 we joyfully fled from the cold, gray skies (that was always the worst part, for me), ice, and snow! I thought we'd eventually miss it, and the storm watch drama, fireplace going as we watch the snow fall, etc; but so far we haven't!

Friends cannot even convince us to take a cruise with them through Alaska, even though the photos look beautiful. (Maybe someday we will want to see snow and ice again in person; we never say 'never'; but not so far).

We thrive on the sunny skies (love the days that sunglasses are a must!), and the warm weather here.

It is overcast and a little rainy/misty right now in TV, but we still have comfortable temperatures, so we'll still go to the square and walk later; this is as much weather 'hardship' as I ever want to have again!

The world needs dreamers; the world needs 'do'-ers. But most of all, the world needs dreamers who are do-ers.
