Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.

I'm a social worker and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want food scene, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
