Where would you live?

If you were able to move to another state south of the Mason Dixon line where would it be, and why?
 
If I won the lottery and could build a "dream" home, I would stay here in NC. But, the house would be built on top of Beech Mountain (over a mile up in elevation). I actually own a second home in Boone (still needs renovations). I've got kids living in it right now going to App State. Even if they were out of the house, I would continue to primarily live at my current location. I love this area and we do seem to be in the "game" for most winter storms outside the mountains. Now if I won that lottery....

Haha. I hear ya! Western NC is really nice. I'm definitely more of a mountain/elevation person than coastal.

According to the poster there it's 110-120 in the summer and never rains.

For a real answer to this question though I wouldn't move too far away maybe 50-100 miles W or NW from where I'm at to get a little better snow climo but still an easy drive to the beach. I'm not sure you can get much better than out in Randolph, Davidson, Rowan counties where it's the heart of the wedge and summer is a few degrees cooler than this eastern NC hell

Southern Missouri is absolutely gorgeous. I would move to SE MO to be closer to a majority of large extension of family outside of St Louis. And yes, it's south of the MD Line.

Branson is very popular and the cost of living looks pretty low. I've only driven through Missouri on I-44 and I-70. Wouldn't mind checking out northern Missouri but not sure i want to be closer to tornado alley.
 
Jackson Hole Wyoming. That’s the only place I would want to move to anywhere. Why idk just looks like a nice little town on the web cams and they get a lot of snow. Seems like a low key slow pace type of place which is perfect for me.

Never been to Wyoming but fell in love with Colorado. Drove out there from the East Coast in '95. I love the temp changes with elevation. So much open space. No humidity!! Absolutely gorgeous. Haha, i also check out the web cams out there too.

I'd probably like Iowa. The climate for sure with all the changes. Tornadoes sorta scare me though. I have family on the other end of the state in Council Bluffs and more in Omaha.

It’s pretty flat the farther you get from the Mississippi in iowa. Dubuque is cool, it’s kind of on the “North side)” of the rain snow cutoff more times than not! If it’s going to be a r/s line, it’s usually snow Nof Hwy 20. And far more wooded around here also. DBQ really looks a lot like the piedmont of NC/SC , where I spent all my years until 2020! I miss carp fishing, but that’s about it! Oh and the Fish camps in Belmont , NC! ?

Yeah, from pics of the area looks nothing like what you would expect Iowa to look like!:) I like trees and hills. Dad was from Pittsburgh and remember lots of good times there.

I would like a place just over the Tetons in Driggs. Cheaper and quiet. Still beautiful and plenty of trout. They had snow on the ground from Halloween to Easter last year.

Oh man that sounds epic!
 
So after much pondering, i realized i have been to 30 states...lol

Another one that comes to mind for beauty is New York state. Loaded with lakes, trees and hills. AND SNOW:D
 
NoVA, Warren county area, SE of Front Royal with some elevation.
 
Honestly if money was no object, I’d love to live in the Lake Effect Snow belts! Watertown, Lake and or Ashtabula counties, wherever I can get 4-6’ in 2 days! That waoukd be amazeballs, and I’d live in Pacific NW in summer and my garden and yard would be fantabulous!!

You must have some sort of family connection in Dubuque. Otherwise why would anyone move there ?
 
I took this photo on the west side of Ireland this week, it’s nice here for many reasons. But obviously this is not south of the mason dixon line.

I personally like Banner Elk, NC, but I’ve also stopped in Bryson City 9 or 10 times over the summer when coming back from my OEC class at Cataloochee. Ellijay and Blue Ridge, GA are pretty nice now as well, but the latter 3 are all sub 1800’ elevation.
 
The pink areas are what I have left to cover in North America, the only ones I really want to visit are Montana, Idaho, and Alberta. I thought about flying to Minneapolis and covering the 5 states around there to check them off, but gross.

If I was forced to move back to the south (I'm really enjoying the cooler and colder weather in Maine) I would move to St. Simons Island, GA. I love that beach, the town, the houses, the moss swaying from the trees and Southern Soul BBQ! I could deal with the heat and the humidity there because I could go in the Atlantic to cool off. Up here in Maine, I need a dry suit to swim in the ocean, its too dang cold for more than toes touching it for like 2 minutes! Other places in the south are beautiful but I LOVED going to SSI many times a year when I was in GA.
