I live in Northern Illinois in the edge of the Chicago suburbs between Chicago and Milwaukee, I understand your pain.

I used to love it out here but now I'm moving my elderly mother out west to retire and not moving back. I just wish the rest of my father's family wasn't entrenched out here.

I honestly tell people to move because I know they're not going to be happy until they do. My mother and some of my other family members have too many health problems to enjoy it out here. If I don't move my mother out she won't live past her 70s.

I've been through a few blizzards, many brown outs and generally I'm now tired of dealing with the snow and ice. I spent fifteen years shoveling my grandmother's ten car drive way. Lucky for me both my uncles now have plows for their trucks so they can do the heavy lifting in that area and my cousins and I can do quick clean up with snow blowers.

I'm tired of the bitter cold in the winters and the extreme humidity in the summers.

"I'm tired of the bitter cold in the winters and the extreme humidity in the summers." Oh man. I forgot about the humidity. Even the summer sucked.

Anyway I am in the spot as you. I keep telling people to move but they won't listen because family and friends. The wife is urging me to move back lately. I dread the future.
