Nah, it's not that much colder here than NYC, maybe 5-7 degrees max at times. Most days there's only about 2 degrees difference on average.
The one nice thing is that in the winter we have fewer damp days than the city because we are further from the ocean .

Point is, none of them has a climate suitable for human habitation. Minnesota, the city, upstate... might as well be Yellowknife.

We've been trying to find somewhere to retire with reasonable weather, I hate the heat and she hates the cold. Have to find somewhere with moderation.

Moderation also entails affordability. 
. That eliminates Cali.
Besides, it's going to float away after the big one anyway.

Yup, rain is back with a vengeance. Probably not for long.

Taking a shower without guilt would be nice, too.

Full appointment schedule tomorrow and one brain MRI on the books. Going to Disneyland and was hoping to sneak out early.
"Can you add on an appointment tomorrow for a Yorkie who can't walk, is mentally dull, has already had an MRI and spinal tap elsewhere with no clear diagnosis and also is losing weight and BTW they need to come in the afternoon because they are coming from 3 hours away?"
Yes.
"Can you squeeze in a Weimernaner tomorrow who has been having seizures and afterwards tries to violently attack his owner?"
Yes.
"Can you do surgery on this little Pomeranian tomorrow who has had back problems for a month but now has taken a turn for the worse and can barely walk?"
Yes.

Well the Yorkie people called back to cancel, they have decided to euthanize the dog. Probably for the best.
The Weimeraner people inexplicably rescheduled for a future date, even though we were squeezing them in because there's 3 small children in the household and we didn't want the dog to hurt anyone.
The Pom is a go, though. He doesn't look that small but he is all hair, weighs all of 2 pounds, that will be one tiny little spine.
Hey @Bah Humbug, how is Toby feeling?

Too late. Have a SIL in Phoenix, I've been considering AZ for a good while now. I'm thinking Flagstaff might work for me.

How does the transplant math work if I go from being a transplant in Boulder to being a transplant in Austin to being a transplant in Phoenix? I think that's an SAT question.
