And here I am, wanting to move there from Los Angeles.
Still would.
I lived just outside of Dallas most of my life, before moving to LA. Never dealt with real snow. It sounds more terrifying than any earthquake, IMO.
Snow’s fantastic. You just make sure you have food and booze. Most (keyword most) employment is accommodating. Apart from that you make sure the heater vent is clear, if it’s a real fun one you might need to shovel the roof, but you prep to not go anywhere. OR the even MORE fun part is walking to the local bar.
That’s for relatively warm lake effect. That all goes out the window if it’s a truly brutal blizzard. Buffalo specifically had an ugly cold christmas a few years back that was absolutely brutal. People freezing to death leaving there cars looking for a house with someone home. Suspended emergency services. That was not the “fun” kind of snow storm.
I’m in the Western Basin, and there os honestly no where i would rather be. Lake Erie may be a trash lake, but it’s a beautiful trash lake that makes me appreciate life. There’s a beauty here that speaks to me in a way only other Great Lakers can really understand.
