I've talked with a lot of folks around the Meredith area who are "transplants" from Mass. and Ct. They all seem very, very happy that they made the move.
By the way, in the book "Retirement Places Rated", they rate the Lake Winnepesaukee region in the top 10 places in the USA to live, based on a multitude of criteria which includes climate, services, ambiance, safety, cost of living, the economy, etc.
I live in Ct. too, and while some folks here have the idea that it's SO much colder "up there", it really isn't. And I DO think you have more sunshine days than we have, although.....there aren't too many of those for any of us lately.
