That's why I like Texas winters so much!

So, I take it no one wants a snowbird to move to were its warmer? I am seriously thinking about moving to southeastern Ok. 170 inches of snow and walking up the snowbank to shovel off roof is over whelming,had enough! Long dark winter days,snow so high you can't walk through your back yard even with snow shoes. So cold your skin hurts and the snow sounds like stirofoam beneath your boots. At some point I'll be coming,looking for a place for my horses to run without being knee deep in Maine black mud.

I hear you, Krisk. Back in the late 70's, for several months I lived in Rochester, NY. I left in late January, and already they had had 125 inches of snow. Glad I live down here now.

That's a bit much winter, I just wish we had some....well some more than the rather minor amount we do. That being said, anywhere in Southeast OK should be fine for someone from Maine. Although I've never heard the term snow bird applied in Oklahoma, more of a Texas thing.

Plenty of nice horse places down here, and people who like to ride.

Where in OK are you heading?

[Synopsis]

Yes, that would be too much Winter for my taste. I would like to see a foot or two a year, but not 10 feet or more. Ugh! I'm sure I would grow tired of the snow really fast after a year in snow like that. We generally get upwards of 1/2 an inch or so per year here in the DFW area.

I'm going to be in the South Central part, I guess you call it? After arriving in OKC, off to McAlester; Ada; Ardmore; Durant; and Duncan. I'm hoping to see "country". Not much of a metropolitan person. I'm jeans, t-shirts,walking in villages and a dirt road. Have camera will travel.
Some of it is going to be business, but most of it for me to explore where I might want to settle in. Oh, I can't wait. Just thinking about it puts a big grin on my face.
PS: If the place gets more then a collective foot of snow.... per winter on an average......I don't think I'll be interested.
