Florida. I love the heat, the humidity, the palm trees, and the pace of life. I'd go there in two seconds, probably down near Tampa / Orlando.

I'm tried of planning my life around winter weather, so I would love to live someplace without the snow and ice we get. I am not picky, I just want to be able to get in my car and drive without chipping ice away and shoveling snow!

come to alabama! the winters are cold, but there's RARELY ever any snow, and if we get any, it's never more than a dusting, because the ground is too warm for it to stick. the weather is pretty hot in the summer, but we've got beautiful scenery and are as friendly as it gets!

I lived in South Carolina and hated it, I'm surprised to see so much love! Very hostile towards "Yankees." Poor school districts (72 of the worst 100 nationally). Every Northerner I met eventually left. Hilton Head is okay but mostly an older, very rich crowd.

I'd look at NC- Raleigh or Wilmington, or maybe Virginia.

I've also lived in Orlando. Very fun for young people, but I wouldn't raise a family there. Surprisingly high crime and, as a whole, poor schools. Tough to find a place that meets everyone's must-haves these days!

I'm a Yankee who moved to SC years ago, and more Southerners are very tolerant of people from other places. Nearly everyone we are friends with, or come into contact with, came from somewhere else and would never leave. And I'm in a big city. I would, however, choose Asheville, NC. Raleigh is a little bigger town than I want to live in, and Asheville has AMAZING mountains. Being a runner and a hiker, this is totally one of my happy places.
