Or you could move to my part of Maryland where you could have "snow" days fom every obligation if there is more than 4 inches or so, Assateague island for off-road beaching in the spring, summer, fall, summer crowds and traffic like the city, no good shopping (for clothes) malls unless you want to drive three hours. But then you would not be where you were BORN, like I am! (I think that's my main reason for loving it, as I am a "rootsy" sort of person!)
