Hehe, you'll trade that high winter heat bill for a high summer air conditioning electric bill!
I grew up in SW PA, but haven't lived there for 33 years. I bounced around the East Coast, Jacksonville, NC, then Waverly, NY, Philly, Fredericksburg, VA, Jacksonville, FL, then back to here. I'm staying put and retiring here if I can pull it off for another dozen years or so.
Welcome to NC. You should really like it down here, but I can't speak for that part of the state. I like it over he-ah tho'. I recommend a trip to Oregon Inlet for some 4wd beach driving.
