It’s 70 degrees Fahrenheit outside today.
I live in a place that never snows, unfortunately. The coldest days are only in the 50s. I have seen snow 5 times and have experienced actual snowfall twice. I felt a bit nervous as I don’t know how quickly snow accumulates. Would we be able to open the front door in the morning? Snow is lovely and mysterious to me.
I’m hoping to move to the PNW as I really hate the heat (anything over 78 degrees is too hot for me). Each year just keeps getting hotter here. This summer it was in the 90s most days and my A/C bill was always $375+ each summer month.
I have a lot of family in Portland and a very close friend Alison, and I’m trying to decide between moving there and Seattle, where I also have friends and 2 family members. I just bought my first home here so it seems kind of ridiculous to pack up and move so soon. But, I hope to move out of San Diego within the next 2 - 3 years.
My daughter is moving to either Portland or back to Seattle (where she lived for 6 years) in August. She got accepted to Lewis and Clark University in Portland and U Dub in Seattle. She shares the same feelings as I do about the heat. She’s hoping to make her move to the PNW a permanent one, as am I. I cannot imagine living that far from her, again.
