  • I'm from the Dallas area.

    We were in San Diego last week and it was in the low 60's and it was hilarious to hear people talking about the 'winter event' and walking around in coats and scarves.

    I am ashamed to admit this was me last weekend at Disneyland. I am such a wimp when it comes to cold weather. I was wearing fleece leggings under my jeans with boots, jacket and scarf!

  • @apollo11235 How do you like the change?? Oh, and why the move? Just curious.
    I moved for grad school, and it's been an adjustment. The snow is kind of cool, I guess, but I could do without it. And I still can't get in the habit of getting out of the house early enough to scrape my car. :(

  • I was born in Flint, MI and lived there till I was 5. We moved to the Phoenix, AZ area and I lived there till middle school. Then we moved back to MI and I've lived in the Grand Rapids area for the last 17 years or so.

    Fun fact: DH and I bought our house almost 5 years ago and it's the longest I'll have lived in any single residence. When I tell most people this, they think I must have military parents. Nope. Just restless ones.

    I am in CT. Went to college in Virginia, then moved to STL, then finally returned to CT so I could raise my children with stories of how we walked to school in snowstorms, school was hardly ever canceled due to snow, never mind the night before, and I took my drivers test in a blizzard. 

     But really, I am here because it's really close to the best city in the world.
