As a lifelong MNer with around 50 years of MN winters under my belt (many of them the EXTRA brutal NW corner variety) I have finally woken up to the joys of being a snowbird. In spite of my joyous proclamations about how great longer, colder, darker MN winters are... the truth is, I think they suck. I am sampling the Central California coast. Very pretty, practically the same mild weather every day year around, but real estate is 10x the cost vs back in the sticks. MN budget with Cali expenses = whoops, good thing you don't get too cold in a cardboard box under a bridge here. I planned to come back in April but my (now) ex-GF has been hatin' on me ever since I stepped off the plane... so I could end up homeless prior to my return flight. Too bad I can't ride that Wing back through 3 feet of snow.
