Lola, love the pictures. They're beautiful!

I live in Upstate New York not too far from the Lake Erie shoreline. Our suburbs are a short drive from the Queen City. We have all the positives everyone has mentioned; the only real stifling snowfall was in 1977. Lately, all four seasons have been generally gentle. Last winter was a bit harsh. But for the most part, the winters have mellowed out a good deal. Hubby and I RV around the states a couple times a year. No matter where I go, I like it here best. Arizona, Co., Toronto are all wonderful places. I flew to Italy in '93, too; but, I was born and raised WNY. There are awesome State Parks, casinos, nightclubs, and world class restaurants within a comfortable driving distance. We've museums and lots of history to ponder. The 13th US President lived in my hometown. We're surrounded by hills, lakes, resorts, and nature preserves. We're blessed. As all of you are! Also, we live near one of the Seven Wonders of the World; and Letchworth State Park, they call it the Grand Canyon of the East. It has a gorge that's 17 miles long; it has over 14,000 acres and three waterfalls over 100 feet high. The place is awesome.

I live in Maine....Like Anno, we have four distinct seasons, each with its own beauty. I believe that in Maine we have it all....mountains, valleys, forests, the beautiful rugged coast looking out to the sea...anything that one would want. I am a born and bred Mainer (or Mainiac as some like to call us!) and love it here. I do have to admit that with age, I've liked the winters less and less and yearn for warmth during those hard months. Guess that's why some snowbirds head south. Still, this is my home and I love it here.

Very true!

Our summers are why I wish I could afford a vacation home in Canada.

LadyJane, sounds very similar to MD weather. And I feel exactly as you do about the winters. Never bothered me until lately. Now I know why people winter in the south.

This is a link that shares information about Baltimore. There are some photos if you browse around.

Since I'm new, I'll "bump" this thread.

I live northeast of Dallas. Been here three years this coming December.

I was born and raised in Redondo Beach, CA. From there I lived up and down the CA. I also lived in Oregon. As well as Florida.

I'd much rather be in Colorado. But hubby's job is here in TX and it's a really good job. So this is where we'll be for a while. And I hope I can get him to retire in Colorado when the time comes.

Born and raised in Northern New Jersey; it looks like New England, especially this time of year. I'm less than an hour into the amazing New York City, where there's anything from the Rockettes Fabulous Christmas Spectacular to the Legendary New York Yankees. This may be a fast paced part of the country, but it sure keeps your interest peaked. I would love to see more of our beautiful country; I've really only traveled up and down the east coast.

Hi, I live is Southern California. I was born and raised here. That's pretty bland; however, what's interesting is that I married a man who was born in Mexico City and lived his entire youth in Brazil!They were a missionary family with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

I live in Issaquah Washington.
