I'm originally from NE Ohio and moved to Texas in 1980. I don't miss the cold and snow at all!

Wow... someone unfortunate enough to be heading into Michigan. Welcome to the land of the overtaxed and underemployed.Be sure to enjoy the worst roads in the nation as the governor attempts to tax her way out of incompetence.You must be in the military, that's one of the few reasons to come here unless you have been kidnapped.All kidding aside, Michigan sucks at times. Sorry for venting but I'm looking out the window at a foot of snow that is forecast to melt tomorrow in the 60 degree rain storms preceeding the cold front. Not to mention that there are 7 homes within sight of said window in forclosure. My laid off kid and wife aren't helping my mood either.Hard to enjoy owning a Vette with so much suffering around you.

We moved from Westland Mi. in 2005 and never looked back!
Well not really, we have been back twice to visit the grandkids, but it was in the summer anyway.
Yes, we traded the winter for the summer it does get really hot about 3 months here.
But there's no snow, it was 80* here Christmas day but that was about 20* above normal. Next week it will return to normal but did I mention NO SNOW...........

Glad I moved too. Originally from Ohio to Florida. Now they call me a "half back" because I moved half way back to my roots. There are lots of folks here in Tennessee that have done that.
