I really didn’t mind the snow as much as the layer of ice under my feet for 4+ months.
I fixed snowblowers and plows at my shop so it definitely helped the cash flow when there was a lot of it.
I consider where I live now just about perfect, but I was born and raised just up the road from here and love the ocean. Earthquakes don’t bother me since they are pretty rare and shouldn’t cause damage to my 2007 built single story.
Everyone has reasons for where they live. I did enjoy Michigan for the most part. But that season where there was ice under my feet wasn’t my favorite.
