Ever since I stopped skiing, I don't like snow anymore especially when you have to shovel out of your own home. Definitely Northern neck of Virginia is beautiful but we haven't forgotten about our friends up north. If for a week or so, we can stay at our friends place. More than likely, we'll rent a place. Snowbirds are good for a while but for me owning two homes are like having an albatross across my neck. I am so relieved that I don't have to worry about pipes freezing in winter, etc. I love the small village of Cooperstown, NY, not for the Baseball Hall of Fame but for the little town atmosphere but for snow..... Re Pinehurst, the village is very quaint and nice with a small park built by the same fellow who built Central Park, NY. However, in winter the town is dead and people congregate by the various hotel bars nearby. That's like having City Fire place only for entertainment.
