im in california, and im looking to relocate...not right this second, but within the next year or two. i want out of this state, but i dont wanna live in the snow. arizona wont work for me either, just for the record...but what are some suggestions of cities and states to look into that have mild winters? any suggestions that i can research would be greatly appreciated
Maybe the Carolinas, Georgia and other parts of the Southeast.
These areas get snow. It depends on what the OP considers to be "real" snow.
This year Atlanta has had two 3-4" snowfalls. Parts of the Carolinas have had up to 12" total or more I think in the mountain areas this year. So you need to migrate further South (Florida) to avoid most of it.

i think i could handle a few 3-4" falls lol. i just dont want any blizzard like craziness...because honestly, ive been here all my life, and im a bit terrified of having to drive in it.
how does south carolina do with snow...if its just in higher elevations, it shouldnt be a big deal, thats how california is. im gonna check out those other suggestions though....thanks guys.

Here's something you need to keep in mind...
If you live in a "high snow" area now, chances are that many if not most of the people there have an idea of how to drive in it, unless it's a megacity that has frequent transplants moving there. However, if you come to cities like Atlanta or Charlotte for example, you have a constant flow of newcomers from all over the world moving into the area. So when that "once every 4 year" snow does hit, you'll be on the roads surrounded by drivers who are from NYC, L.A., Mexico, Africa, Japan, Europe, Central America.... literally from everywhere, with ALL types of driving experiences, all trying to figure out how to drive in the stuff. So it's a lot safer to just stay home in these areas when it snows, as opposed to "back home". But yeah, you'll have to deal with it a lot less than other areas, fortunately.

thank you
thank you to everyone that responded. i appreciate it
One thing I want to point out as the "payoff" for not having snow or being in Cali... The South and Southeast can get EXTREMELY humid - not something Cali sees much of, and a lot of folks don't get used to overnight. If these areas are a serious consideration, you might want to visit during July/August time frame so you know what you're getting into.
