[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nightowl and like to sleep in in the morning. But as soon as it gets too hot, I have to switch gears and get up early, go to bed early, to use that morning time for walking my northern breed sled dog. He can't tolerate heat at all.

Ugh. If only we could move to a cold place. But the kids are still in school, job is still here.

I want to retire where there are few mosquitoes and the max summer temp is 30C, or 86F.

Shhh - the secret place is WNC. Also possibly southwest VA or east TN. Going north doesn't help - NYC is brutal in the summer.

The other advantage to WNC (at least south of the Asheville area) is less snow and ice. There is some, but usually better than the same system hitting DC or Boston. Yes, WNC had a bad hurricane 2 years ago, but I lived through dozens of hurricanes in the worst hot weather state in the country (FL). And all the bugs, dreadful humidity and sweltering conditions - just to get to the office or grocery store.

In WNC there is not a lot of bugs, summer temps are 10-20 degrees below everywhere from Miami to NYC and little humidity. And it's gorgeous. It sometimes gets over 90, but it's not the same 90 you experience in Charleston or Richmond or Boston.

I loved my years in VA before settling in FL to raise kids. But retirement in WNC is a gift I never realized would be so sweet.[/quote]
