Me too man. My wife hates the cold though. I think we'll probably compromise after my kids are out of school and maybe move to Asheville or somewhere like that.

Got family in Western North Carolina and they love it. Cooler winter but nothing extreme.

Asheville gets pretty damn miserable in the winter. I lived there for 2 years already. Once the leaves fall off the trees in November, the wind doesn't drop by 10 mph until they grow back in spring. It's a steady, cold, humid wind. I thought the winter's in Colorado where much easier to deal with. There, even in January, it'll get up to 70° at least one day a week.

Don't just move to Asheville thinking it's not cold. Visit there in January or February. Otherwise, you'll be in for a shock.
