Need a break from winter

I love the weather from about December through most of February. In December, it's fun to wear warm coats and hats and play in the snow. In January and early February, it's freezing cold and bright sunny. I love that. But now we are getting into the cold, cloudy, rainy crap part of winter. The lack of snow this year has ruled out snowshoeing and cross skiing and things that get you out and about. I'm losing it!
I wish I could go somewhere were I could just take a break and ride my bike and run and get outdoors. I even just tried to ride my bike to work the other day as I do in the other seasons, and it was so cold and damp I just felt frozen to the bone for the rest of the day!

I highly recommend moving here to Southern California. We get rain in the winter, but snow only falls in the mountains. From my window, I can see snow on Mount Wilson and the lovely tropical palm trees that line the city streets here in my neighbourhood. The only thing about the sky that bothers me is the aerial spraying campaign of man made 'clouds' that darken our days. Very sinister....
The weather is glorious, though!
Rents are low, the subway and bus are cheap and convenient!
Southwest Wyoming, some would say Hell. I say its home.
DC, I would trade you your April for mine and throw in half of May to sweeten the deal. We have to make spring runs to SLC and Ogden just to convince ourselves that warm weather is just a few months or 100 miles away!!!
Did you get U2 or DMB tix?

Wyoming is a land unlike any other when it comes to weather. I've learned to expect anything in Wyoming. During the winter, the highways in Wyoming get straight up dangerous. My dad is a trucker, he hauls petroleum and currently makes runs out to Tonepah, NV, but when he used to make runs through Wyoming they always had the potential of becoming brutal in the winter. To this day he refers to Wyoming as a driving state as "a son of a bitch". I couldn't agree more. It's absolutely beautiful though, particularly because it's so desolate. The wide open landscape of the state is great.
No tickets for each show. Don't know much DMB so I wouldn't buy a ticket, and I'm not a U2 fan so I passed on that one as well though. Rice Eccles Stadium (where U2 will be playing) is right near my work. No doubt I'll be getting stuck in major traffic that night...is it on a weekday?

I don't have the temperament to live with other adults, but I can certainly use the bonus money I'd receive for referring a new tenant with good credit. Dear fans, please PM me.

Here is a copy & paste from an earlier post:
My rent was lowered from $900 to $850, all utilities included. But new tenants can rent for $795 with all utilities! One month freeeeee!!!!!! Free wi-fi must be up and running by now. Ours is the nicest little apartment building on the block. It's near the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Normandie Avenue. It's 2 blocks from the subway. It's a little brick 4 storey, 48 units, was originally a hotel when it was built 90 years ago. It has a fun tiny, ancient elevator.
Most of the flats are studios, meaning no bedroom. But the place has 9 foot ceilings, a large separate kitchen/dining room, shower and deep, old bathtub, dressing room with built ins, 3 closets, plush carpets. Most units are rented by young adults, yet the place is deliciously quiet and tranquil. All non-dog pets are welcomed. I have pet mice, someone has a gorgeous cockatoo. There are washers and dryers. The place is so safe that folks leave their bikes in the basement.http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/apa/1622047089.html Some flats have ancient kitchen cabinets like the one pictured. Others have brand new, modern ones. Some have an exposed brick wall in the main room.
Anyone else looking to relocate or downsize? Help a sister out!
Love,
