I am right there with you. My area has another problem I did not mention with strong winds year round.

This may sound totally insane to many people but there is talk amongst climatologists that are saying Duluth, Minn. is becoming a hotspot for "climate migrants".

Here's why according to one news article I have come across (among others as well):

"Harvard lecturer Jesse Keenan an expert on climate adaptation, had recently identified Duluth as a potential hotspot for future “climate migrants” — people escaping rising sea levels or extreme conditions like drought, heat waves and wildfire smoke fueled by climate change. Keenan described the city's climate as moderate, and he noted its access to abundant fresh water and room to grow."

that is interesting @SilleeMee !

on another note, the high there today is 18 and the low will be -9....that doesnt even include a wind chill.

If this guy thinks Duluth's climate is "moderate", I'd hate to live where he considered "extreme".

My youngest daughter went to San Diego for college in 2010 and never returned!  She loves it there, she has no heating or ac in her condo and doesnt need it for the most part.  It does get a fair amount of rain.  No earthqueakes since she has been there thankfully.

He's not the only one who shares his same thoughts. I watched a recent TV special about climate change and there were a few climatologists talking about Duluth.

Southern California along the coast.  Newport Beach to San Diego.  

Santa Ana winds can make it very hot for a few days, but other than that weather is ideal.

I've read that some corporations have quietly been buying large pieces of property in Canada and Alaska in anticipation of the growing season changing.

I've been to Duluth several times and loved it.  But I wouldn't consider its climate moderate at this point.  Especially not in January.

I seem to recall in the past, some of our posters complaining about extreme heat waves in San Diego with no AC.
