I live in Queensland Australia where we do not have the winters you do, would you move to a snow-less area?

Although in southern Australia they do have snow season it is not to the extent like in other countries with snow chains, digging snow of pathways etc. Many people in southern Australia in their senior years make the move up to Queensland to get away from the cold. Would you or are you planning to. Or is it just a fantastic time of the year for some.

Though it gets tedious after months of snow, I would never want to live in an area without it.Having lived with it all of ones life it kind of becomes a necessity!
dominica - That sound so good to be warm in the winter.
We had our first bit of snow and my hubby has the snow plow ready.
I keep my electric throw to keep me warm and layer my clothing.
I do love the four seasons, but I also envy your climate and living close to the ocean.

I’ve already moved to a snow-less area in the US. Pennsylvania to Florida. I don’t care if I never see snow again. I used to enjoy skiing, but I couldn’t do that anymore anyway. I also worked in the snow as a mail carrier. That wasn’t fun. Florida is hot, but it’s flat; no ice & snow, hills & steps.
no i love the snow and the dramatic change of seasons
I’m so used to Canadian winters, so I don’t really mind them. I prefer them to the very hot, humid times we can get in the summer. So, I wouldn’t move, simply because I enjoy all of the seasons, including a snowy winter.
I live in the southern United States and have a mild, snowless winter here. I don’t need to move to another country.
If I could get my wife to go to a warmer climate I would. She prefers to be close to her grand children.
It sounds wonderful, but I wouldn’t want to leave my children and grandchildren and my country. We had an exchange student from Miles in Queensland over 30 years ago. Also, she said the Americans are not looked upon favorably there. Don’t know how true that is.
I used to love snow and winter when I was younger, but this is no longer the case. Yes, I would happily move to a snow-less area.
If I was younger and healthier I would move to Queensland in a heartbeat - **** the snow!

I moved from Chicago to New York to San Francisco, partly because I couldn’t take the snow/cold anymore. San Francisco gets a little cold but not usually freezing (our homes aren’t insulated and our heating systems are pretty rudimentary so we’d be in deep trouble if things froze and continued to stay freezing for a long period of time). And no snow here usualy either except up in the higher elevations (the higher hills). The whole transit systems would come to a skidding halt if it snowed and the snowed stayed on the ground for long. I don’t even know if there are snow plows available just in case–and most of us residents don’t own snow shovels. We do get rain. If we want snow, the mountains are only a couple hours drive away. But I don’t like being cold, or cold and wet.
