>These five years I've lived in central virginia, last 15 months on the coast. Weather is very mild - there's about six snow days per winter. Lots of forest, and also very humid. Usual weather in the summer is 90/90 (Fahrenheit/relative humidity) or higher. Coast is actually less humid; inland gets all the humidity which then stops by the Appalachies and can't get out.

>As others have told you, as soon as you move at least 30 miles south of DC, it's getting cheaper. Virginia Beach and Richmond are cheaper a lot than the north, despite the former being a tourist resort and the latter the state capital.

Thanks, Dragan. I am not sure I can handle living in smal town where everyone tallks with a south accent and there are no big cultural places (not that I attend them often nowdays)... I realized again how I miss Boston comparing with other American cities...
