Winter is mild, a little snow every now and then, some ice storms that suck but don't last long, all in all pretty acceptable. We have a (well insulated) 2,500 square foot, 2-story house we built, and we got by with a good quality wood-burning fireplace for the first two winters. Still keep the whole place cool in the summer with a 1-1/2 ton air conditioner in the upstairs bedroom window. Not too bad, I'd say. Considering all the things there are to hate about So Cal these days, we love it here. Do miss the family, though.

Probably alot less expensive to live there then CA, also. Taxes seem kind of high in NWA. Would you say they are less then CA?
