State Selection:Sun and Snow
I wont be going to the US for quite some time yet, however, There is no harm planning ahead. I am looking for a State that has nice Hot poolside climate in Summer and a very snowy winter!
Does a wonderland such as this exist?

Re: State Selection:Sun and Snow
well we had the kinda summer where we WANTED a pool every day... reached 95F daily for about 2months... its cooling off into autumn (hopefully) now.
winter is snowy... you want snow... we got snow... you want to drive... buy a 4x4.

Yea Driving, Dreading the roundabouts :s
Although It's a solid excuse when some eco freak is staring at you for driving a 4x4.

Re: State Selection:Sun and Snow
There are quite a few states with climates like you describe. Anything else to narrow the field?
Prostitution is legal in some parts of Nevada, and it's hot there, and you can drive to snowy places from there. And they have a town there where you can gamble.

Most states in the NE/mid west would fit your bill.

Re: State Selection:Sun and Snow
its "kinda" good news... the problem I find is when you've not seen one for years and suddenly you're faced with one... and obviously while UK peeps are very used to them... americans are NOT so you have to be EXTRA careful, go around it the "wrong" way AND avoid the idiots who don't read the signs.
btw - science - there are about 10 roundabouts in the entire US

Re: State Selection:Sun and Snow
In all honesty I dont have much of a criteria my profession has so many industrial applications I could get work in any state I would imagine,
Do any of those states you mention have no Income tax?
