Y'all, it's so cold at work tonight, I swear, if I had hot chocolate right now, I wouldn't sip it. I'd dip my fingers in it. *laughs*

I'm having a hella rough time lining up another job -- this one has about 6 months left and then I'll be laid off. I keep seeing work possibilities in my field in the Washington/Oregon area so I find myself daydreaming about ferry boats. (Too much Grays Anatomy, I guess. LOL)... But realistically, if I don't like Florida winters... what am I thinking?! ... Any northern transplants in the Sunshine state? Think I'd suffer extreme culture shock if I had to make the move?

Hey Sassy,

I'm a transplant from upstate NY down to south Florida....and there's definitely a world of difference. It would be less traumatic going to the Oregon/Washington area....but still darn cold compared to what you're used to.

I lived in Seattle oh-so-long-ago and it's more rain than snow....beautiful spring, summer and fall....and you need a good coat for winter.

Upstate NY? Run away, just run away. Fifteen feet of snow in a winter is just too much for me.
