Where should I move?Crazy in GA (Knoxville, Johnson City: good schools, living)

[allenocain]

I was born,raised, and now totally sick of coastal Georgia.I think I never left before because my Dad was here.But now he is gone and I really would like to move someplace totally different.Both my wife and I want to move where there is at least more than 2 seasons and especially where it snows at least a little bit.We have 2 children-ages 13 and 2 and my wife will be graduating from LPN school in July so we have been starting to research places to move to.We both would love a place near mountains but are not sure where we want to go.Of course we need good schools for the kids and someplace near for her to work as a nurse.But where?At first I thought about Fort Collins,Colorado(maybe too much snow?) or Knoxville,Tennessee(maybe not enough snow?).Can anyone help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check out Johnson City, great town. My son goes to ETSU and moved there last spring. He said he will probably stay in that area after he graduates because he likes it so much. I go there about once a month and I'll say I wouldn't mind living there myself. You may also want to check out Asheville, NC. They get more snow than Johnson City and if you're into art and music you would love it. I don't know anything about the school system there but I think Johnson City has some very good schools. Good luck and I'm sure some other folks will chime in.
