Thanks, We pretty much have it set down between Knoxville and Chattanooga and all points between. In Knoxville, we'll have 4 seasons. The average high temp during the summer is 77*, average low temp in winter is 29*. Obviously I understand that is just the average and will likely have a few spells in both directions. They average less than 10 inches of snow a year. No state income tax. Cost of living index is 87.5 with the average U.S. at 100. Knoxville is the center of the east coast.

Heck, I have a shipment going out to Utah this week and the temps are getting above 100 there!
As for moving, heck I moved out of Maryland back in '91 and there is just no way in hell you will EVER get me to move back to a place that gets any snow. Yeah it gets hot in the summer here, but in the winter months I can still do just about anything I want outside without my earlobes beginning to freeze. When I live in Maryland, basically November thru March were out of the picture for enjoying ANY activities outside. Yeah, you might get a spell where the temps would get into the 70s for a few days, but that was rare and not to be counted on if you had a particular date in mind.
Honestly if there was a perfect place to live, EVERYONE would already be there.

Hey, the snowbirds got this thing figured out. I went to Waynesville/Cherokee, NC ten years ago. Didn't mind winter until about three years ago, then I got my Z and coming back to FL started looking real good. If I could do so, I would be in Virginia or North Carolina about six months a year and down here the rest of the time..I'm back and lov'in it despite the heat, plus most all my immediate family is here on the Gulf Coast...........Tom
