I lived in California for 59 years and through many large earthquakes. I'm still here. Now I've moved to Minnesota, and I'm a whole lot more worried about getting through my first Winter here. You'll get used to it...just make sure you have a pair of jumper cables in your car...and let your car warm up 15 minutes before you drive anywhere during winter.

I have those, but I think the heated garage should take care of that. And then there are those nice heated seats on the SUV I just bought. And...just in case, it has one of those plug-in engine heaters, too...factory equipment.
I love the benefits of selling a house in CA and moving to a state where housing prices aren't so danged high. Lots of nice upgrades are possible in one's lifestyle.

Not only jumper cables, but I had an in-line heater installed in my car so I could plug it in in the coldest nights. I lived in the Central Idaho mountains for many years, and it could get cold there. I didn't have a garage, so I had to park my car outside. The in-line heater was indispensable. My car always started right up.

Let's put things in perspective, people. This is not scary. John Kerry reporting for duty (wimpy salute) as President of the United States... Now THAT'S SCARY!!!
