I'm just too much of a warm weather wimp to brave Idaho.

I dislike humidity with a passion. Pocatello is DRY. The only time I manage to perspire to any extent is when I've spent 3 hours pushing my lawn mower and the outside temp in over 95 degrees. Most of the winter is cold and dry. A light jacket is fine even at 15 degrees. Below that temp, I get out the knit cap, gloves and a more significant jacket. Summer nights are 80 degrees with daytime temps running 90 to 106. September/October are indistinguishable from typical San Diego weather...sans humidity. The only annoying weather characteristic is WIND. We are right in the typical path of the jetstream. A steady 20 to 35 knot wind with gusts to 60 is not unusual. Try to get your target to hold still on the 100 yard range in that kind of wind. Yikes.

Maybe some day I'll get an RV and be a land nomad. Who knows. But I think I'm more suited to FL or TX.
