Can anyone tell me where all the LI'ers are moving to? My husband and I are looking for a better quality of life. We would like changing seasons, but not a six month winter like we have here on LI. Thanks!
Everyone I know has headed south. Most of my family flocked down to Florida years ago with many other NY'ers. I've had a couple of friends move to N.Carolina and Georgia. My brother and his family are moving soon to the hamptons bay area of Virginia (near Virginia Beach) while my husband and I are strongly considering Dallas.

We have a 6-month winter???
Real winter weather (consistent cold temps and maybe some snow) usually doesn't kick in till sometime in December, and pretty much ends sometime in March.
Once in a while we'll get a Winter From Hell but otherwise the only really bad months are January and February.
Didn't we have a bunch of 50-degree days this past November, December, early February, and March? Even a few 60F if I recall correctly.
I'll be generous and say a 4-month winter at the max. With most of our snow coming in dribs and drabs a couple or 3" at a time, and then it warms up to 40F in a day or so and just melts to slush (with the occasional "big" storm that dumps what, 8" or maybe 10" - and not every year) we're hardly in the Great White North.
Seriously though, I guess it depends on how you define "winter".
To me, New England often has a 5- to 6-month winter (Nov through March, possibly into early April), 'winter' meaning pretty consistently below freezing and fairly reliable snowfall.
Think twice about Texas.I am from the Island and have been here a long time. I still have not adjusted. I have a few friends who got divorced because their husbands refused to leave Texas and they could not take it. They just picked up and moved back east and left their husbands.
clarkstreetkid are you in the Chesterfield/ Midlothian area? We have friends who recently moved there and love it. We have strongly considered moving there as well it's really a beautiful area. Their development is nicer than any I have seen on LI, and at the price they paid, you couldn't buy a nice shack here. It's really unbelievable.

We're off to CT,the wealthiest state in America for relief.
Tolland county is a relative bargain.
Twice the house half the tax with better schools.
2hrs to NYC/90 Min to Boston/1 Hrs to the Beach
Sold
C
BTW
I think we have a modest winter.3 months at best, try Syracuse for a while....thats winter.
Left for the SC coast.... good schools, fraction of the taxes and haven't heard a horn honk (or the accompanying middle finger wave) yet since I moved here a year ago.
