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

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The housing market is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
