Just in case any of you are considering moving back to the midwest, here's a reminder of what you're missing: 10 inches of snow in 6 hours, windchill 5 below zero, and there's too much snow on the lake to go out in the ice boats...

San Diego was 77* today.........clear as a bell. Shorts and Tee shirts......Sorry for you. At least houses there are affordable. :rolleyes: :D
Was in the 50's today in my part of the midwest.
I wish it would snow here SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!!!:D
Mandelon, I live in this house on 3/4 acre with 2 garages, paid $126k for it in '97.

Nice weather,
My sister and her family live in Detroit. I have visited several times, always in winter. What a miserable place it was when I was there....
Makes you think twice about bailing from California...
:p :D
Looks like fun, 70 here today and heading to the lake Friday:D
SWEETTTTTT!
I'm comming back this winter to go to the U.P. to do a lil snowmobling with my brother.
Oh, the bank sign said 80 today when I went by at 3:00.
Jim, I didn't pay that much more for my house. It's on a good size lot but not as big as yours. (I hate to mow grass anyway) And as you saw, I also have 2 garages.
The kicker is that if I wanted to buy the same house today, I couldn't afford it.
Yeah, real estate prices in So Cal are very expensive. But, on the other hand, my house has appreciated $500k in 3 1/2 years. I just hope I can sell before the next bust. :D
I'm from Grand Rapids, miss it for just a minute, I guess, haven't lived there since I was 2 so can't say I know what it's like. Have visited family several times, kinda fun to be in for a short visit! :D
