I am mostly looking forward to the four seasons, as I have lived all of my life near New Orleans, LA and the last two years just outside of Tampa, FL.
I am tired of the heat, humidity, and especially the hurricanes. Made it through Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and do not look forward to any others.
Also, how would you rate the commute to SLC from the north and/or the south?
Bountiful is nice....kind of land locked. Layton is my favorite, its north of Bountiful, very pretty and still close enough to Salt Lake (25 min)

I really do appreciate all of the comments. I hope to be able to convence my wife, but I think I will need to take her and the boys to Utah for a vacation and let her see first hand how beautiful the place is. I just hope when we go that we run into a lot of nice people to let her see first hand that there are nice people and there are jerks wherever you go.
I am open to all comments and concerns about moving to Utah, so please keep'em coming!!

Very little humidity in Utah. I think on average 15 percent. You would like that coming from a place that is humid. I moved to a state that has it and I can hardly handle it. 76 percent humidity today, yet it was only 89 degrees.

You may want to explore the option of Park City and her neighboring communities. Park City has a large, Catholic community as well as a great church. Park City is considered to be more liberal than SLC. The commute is quite reasonable - My husband commutes to the SLC airport daily. Plus, Park City's altitude is high enough to be out of the inversion pollution. Many of my husband's co-worker's live South of SLC and North of SLC. It takes them more time to commute to SLC airport from Ogden and Bountiful [North] and Sandy and Draper [South] than it does from Park City. The thing about Park City and the commute to SLC is that you just have to plan for the snow when you live in or near Park City [proper vehicle and appropriate snow tires]. For what it's worth...

From what I hear about Park City, I do not think we could afford a house there.
Also, we have never driven in the snow or on icy roads so Park City may not be an option.
Do the roads in and around SLC get iced over?

Honestly, Salt Lake doesn't get too much ice. Mostly snow and the plows are usually pretty good with keeping up with it. I am from NJ and you want to talk about ice? Man...ice storms like no other in the winters.

How short are the falls in Utah? Do you still get to expirience all the pretty trees turning colors?

It definitely varies by year, but in the valley itself, October is quite colorful. Actually that's my favorite month of the year here. Great temps, mountains usually have a dusting of snow up top, deep blue skies - it's beautiful and fantastic. But some years, we get barely a glimpse of fall then it snows. In the mountains, the colors usually change during the middle part of Sept. with snow by the end of Sept. not uncommon.

Exactly............fall (even as short as it is) is gorgeous, especially driving through any of the canyons. Thats why the moutains are so spectaculer.
