I'm not looking for a place to move to right away, I'm looking for a place to move to in 5-7 years and Montana is just one of those places I am considering. I want to move out west, I live in Georgia. I understand the mentality of a lot of Montanans as in the South we share the same mindset.

But, I hate the geography of this place and the weather. We have 2 seasons. Mild and Opressive. The winters are wet and cool and the summers are blistering hot and deadly humid. My parents retired in foots of the Appalachian mountains, which are hilly but what I want are giant snow and ice rock mountains. I'm looking for dry, mild summers, and fall, any kind of fall, what is fall?

Maybe a fall where it is cool before November. It literally does not get cool here until late November.

Other places I have considered are in and around Joseph Oregon. I just am not sure if it is mountainous enough. I have to get away from the South though. I don't want to move to the northeast though, ever.

Montana also has two seasons: winter and not-winter.

Spring is generally pretty short, since it can snow well through the spring, and occasionally even into summer (not so much, though). It certainly gets cool before November. Remember the song "November Rain"? What is that? I was baffled a couple of years ago when it rained on Halloween. When I was a kid, I generally needed to have a costume designed that could wrap around a snowsuit.

But the summers are beautiful. Very little humidity, so the summers are dry.
