I love the food. I love the weather. I love being able to easily get to NYC or Boston. I love having a multitude of state forests and parks to go hiking in. I love not having seasonal/frequent natural disasters. (When I was in Houston there was a significant city wide flood at least annually, generally around a different holiday each year I was there, and that's not counting Harvey.) I love Elm City Games downtown, and the community around it.

I'm very happy here, all told.

The weather? How bad is the winter? Is it sunny? Thank you so much!

Winter here will have nothing on Chicago, but it does generally go below freezing for a week or more at a time, with moderate snowfall. But the city does a pretty good job of keeping the streets clear. And there will also be stretches of winter that are above freezing, even sunny. We have pretty well rounded weather (and seasons) all told.
