I have a slight fondness for Pennsylvania, T.O...my father was born in Pittsburgh in 1901....moved to Orlando, Florida in 1909, though, and I was born and grew up in Florida.
I've been through Pennsylvania a few times on my way to Rochester, NY, where I lived twice.
Between years there and in Ohio (twice), South Dakota and Fairbanks, Alaska, I'm happy to be away from really cold weather and snow forever.
I know what you are talking about when it comes to cold weather. Although Southeastern Pa. gets a couple months of the stuff it is usually fairly mild. We talked about buying two retirement homes, one in a college town in Florida where we would spend our winter months and another in a Pocono college town where we'd spend summer and fall. We figured we'd have good libraries and be able to sit in on classes. But we decided to stick with our friends and toast marshmellows in the fireplace in the winter.
