Great fall season, great schools, warm summers, mild winters, 30 min south of DC.

New Jersey gets all 4 seasons. And not just the four seasons, but they’re like 100% when each of them comes. REALLY HOT summers, freezing cold winters. Gorgeous amazing autumn, and rainy, warm spring. About 45 minutes from the new york city, and snowboarding. 5 malls within about 25 minutes. Lots to do. And hell.

IT’S JERSEY!

Hilly with valleys, but with some flat areas and farm land. Bustling, cultured city about 30 min away (also where I went to school). Local town that I live in is small and old (from the 1770s) with local shops. There are chain stores, but they exist just outside the local area all in a strip mall, so they can be ugly OUTSIDE of residential areas.

10 min away from great ski slopes.
10 min away from an amazing lake
I live <1 mile away from a Tim Hortons

Hot/warm summers with clear skies, cold/snowy winters, beautiful stars because of the lack of city lights…no neighbours near my house. the world is my oyster!!

I so want to go home now. :(

Great question! I grew up in California and Nevada, I loved the ocean, mountains and desert. When I was 20, I moved to Illinois. At first I hated it here. Endless rows of cornfields ( they reminded me of Children of the Corn ). Slowly Illinois grew on me. I would miss it terribly if I had to move (exception being Wisconsin). I love the change of seasons, wildlife, proximity to large cities, life on the water (lakes and rivers), the list goes on and on.

Well, Perth, Western Australia.
It’s got a lot going for it, but a long way from elsewhere?
Get’s real hot in summer but were near the coast so get sea breezes.
Can travel down to the Southwest where it’s cool and green, great for bushwalking, food and lots of wineries and other hidden gems.
Great beaches for surfing, although the sharks are becoming more noticeable of late, even eating people. I think that should tell us something.
We can head to the desert country out Kalgoorlie way or up North to the Kimberley region.
Another day in Paradise I guess…

Mine is not the best. It’s freezing cold in the winter (and the wind is always blowing when it’s cold), and so sticky hot in the summer that you can’t go outside unless you’re right beside a pool.

I just Debbie Downer-ed this Q lol4rl

British Columbia has a bit of everything – cities and remote wilderness; temperate rain forests and deserts; inland plateaus full of farms, grain fields, orchards and vinyards, and rugged alpine mountains (including the absolutely breathtaking Canadian Rockies); oceans, lakes, rivers galore and the odd sand dunes to play in. All four seasons in most areas, although not everywhere. Low risk for most major natural disasters in the majority of the province. Cultural diversity, little political upheaval. BC has a bit of everything and is gorgeous to boot. I absolutely love BC and have always counted myself lucky to have grown up here. :o)
