[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re planning to retire to WNY, likely one of the villages north of Niagara Falls.  Yes, taxes are high, but it’s also reasonably insulated from the worst effects of climate change, which matter to us.  DH is from there, hence preferring that over VT/NH.[/quote]

You’re going to live somewhere that has sh!tty weather all the time right now in order to avoid the highly speculative effects of climate change in the indeterminate future? 🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂[/quote]

DH and I love cold weather; we don’t consider it “shitty.”  Winters are long but the other seasons are gorgeous.  I’ll take a Buffalo winter over a DC summer any day.

Also, I don’t take advice from science-deniers, so there’s that.[/quote]

You like it now, will you like it as much when you're 85 and can't drive and use a walker and are afraid one fall on the ice may be the end of you?[/quote]when I am 85 and can’t drive and need a walker I will move into a Home near my children wherever they may be but I am not going to live in the south for 25 years dying of the heat just in case that happens when I am 85.

I’m the PP who was being replied to so I didn’t write the above, but it’s exactly how I feel, too.  [/quote]

My parents live there now, and are in denial about what a problem it is. They constantly want me to help them with weather maintenance issues for their house, and they basically can't travel at all in the winter because they won't drive in snow. They're only mid-70s but this stuff catches up with you. Skiing isn't fun for them anymore. I really resent that they moved someplace inconvenient that would obviously pose a lot of challenges, and now act like it's some unforseen misfortune. [/quote]

These are your issues, PP.  Stop projecting them onto others.[/quote]

Ok. Enjoy dealing with the snow without help.

I’ve been an athlete for 30+ years and DH works out daily.   :roll: [/quote]

NP but you just sound like a peach. Make sure you have a large acreage so your neighbors don’t have to deal with you either![/quote]

I’m rude because PP is incorrectly assuming that I’m an out of shape couch potato?  Okay.  Whatever. :roll: [/quote]
