" Have you ever spent a winter there? :)"

I should have put a sarcasm tag on my post. Half my neighbors here on the Oregon Coast are from North Dakota. None plan to move back, but some of the old ones go to Arizona for the winter.
Considering the number of NDers here, it's a wonder any are left in ND.
