....and for those of you who HATE humidity? Another thing I love about Colorado (CO) is that it isn't very humid. In fact, it humidity gets over 35%, we are complaining about how awful it is! LOL!

^^That right there is one of the many reasons I am moving that way next month! My hair will be so grateful!:laugh:

I live in Northern Maryland. About 45 minutes north of Baltimore and 5 minutes below the Mason-Dixon line. It's a very rural area. My road is about 2 miles long and has around 7 farms on it. It's very gorgeous here. We get the best of all worlds. The big city life (baltimore), the historical charm of the closest actual town (30 minutes away), and the beauty of the country. This is a bad reference because not a lot of people saw the movie, but in Tuck Everlasting, his eiffel tower is our King and Queen seat in Rocks State Park, and where they go swimming is our Falling Branch. They also filmed the beginning of August Rush (you know, in the rye/wheat field) on a family friends farm. So that gives you an idea of the area.

Winters are cold, summers are humid, and fall and spring last for maybe a month and a half.

You drive into PA and it's like you are in a different country. Although the Amish are awesome. We buy a lot of amish furniture because they just do a gorgeous job.

Maryland is all about their crabs and NatyBo. And when the weather is nice, you see quite a few hot air balloons on a daily basis.

I don't think I'd trade my little chunck of MD for anywhere else. I love it here.

I am from New York state.

Not the city. I'm in what is called upstate. Everyone else not not in NYC or long island is upstate. I sit right along the southern part of Pa. but still upstate, crazy huh? I also do not carry a gun, own a 9mm and I am not in gang. Most people from out of state assume I am full of it, and that I live in a giant city, carry a gun, and have to take a taxi or subway everyplace I go. I also do not eat my pretzels out of carts on the street, and no one is pushing around hotdogs. I do still hate the red socks and pretty much don't talk about the Mets, as is required by New York common law.

I'm an IT professional, I am a network administrator for a k-12 school district. Its great having a staff, and working with kids and teachers, but still being able to manage projects.

Wow, if you were a woman I'd think I wrote this!!!! lmao :drinker:
I'm also from NY STATE (not city) and work in a school district. However, I commute to the lovely state of NJ for my paycheck, and am a female

Either way, I ditto everything you just said.

I am from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia (aka Almost Heaven). I lived here until age 25, I moved to be with my now husband to the suburbs of DC. After 3 years there, we moved back to WV. I love our weather. We have all 4 seasons, we don't have to worry about tornados, hurricanes, or earthquakes. We just have some flooding in low lying areas, and snow, sometimes lots of it, but usually doesn't cause problems. We have no pro sports teams, so we are crazy about our WVU Mountaineers (my alma mater). WV is very rural, but not in the farm and ranch way, we have a lot of forests and mountains, it is an absolutely beautiful place to live and visit. West Virginia people are the best, and you'll never meet a stranger.

I am an Accountant in the capitol city of Charleston.

It's really pretty there but REALLY high up. A lot of people have died from falling off.

I grew up in Minnesota, but have adopted Florida as my home.

Minnesota is absolutely beautiful, but where I lived in the suburbs of Minneapolis, was crowded and ugly. I lived there until I was 24.

I'm now on the east coast of Florida near Melbourne, after previously living in Palm Beach and Orlando. I'm 1/2 mile from the ocean now. I love the people, the scenery, and (sometimes) the weather. We get some spectacular thunderstorms and winter is wonderful for being outside, but summers can be beastly hot and humid.

I'm from Kansas :-) We have all four seasons at full force. Really cold winters with snow, very hot and humid summers. That is one thing I really love about the Midwest is the range of seasons. You get to see everything turn green and bloom. Then the leaves turn red and orange and fall off. It is beautiful. We only have a couple big cities in Kansas (Wichita & Kansas City). The rest are rural towns. There is a lot of open country side. Many visitors say it is very spaced out (which is true).
