Panama City, FL

[Finch]

My grandparents lived about 30 minutes outside of Panama City, so i visited it a lot. I am qualified to it sucks unless you just love backwoods, daily thunderstorms, old grizzly people who have never left the state, and fucking teenagers. Putt putt was nice last time i was there, BUT THAT'S IT. The Jacksonville area isn't bad.

Do they get snowy winters on the west coast? I know the coast of BC doesn't, so I can't imagine Washington getting much snow either.

Up in Washington they do, the movie Twilight was filmed in Forks and they had snow!

Well, according to the site that E linked to, a city like Olympia does get some snowfall, though not a huge amount. (Certainly more than I'm getting now though.)

Portland, Maine seems to hold potential. 40%~50% of days cloudy throughout the year, and an average of 20" of snow in the winter! Plus, NE probably gives me a better chance of finding a very Silent Hill-esque city. *heh*

If you're looking for Scandinavian weather, there's a perfectly good Alaska that virtually no one is using. Fjords, snow, lots of cloudy days and good sea food.

Generally speaking western washington doesn't get much snow. Usually about a week or two's worth of days throughout the winter with 6 or more inches of snow. Forks is out on the peninsula so I can't imagine it snows all that much either, it's near the rain forest, though and it's pretty wet out there.

Eastern washington (east of the cascades) is a whole different deal. It's like a desert out there and the season changes are much more severe.

Well, my brother lived in Panama City for a year and he seemed to really like it. I've been thinking about moving to Oregon for awhile now, and I checked out this website to read on some cities there, maybe you can get some use out of it.

Portland. The rest of Oregon is kind of wierd.

Florida has no state income tax, which is something I hear old people care about.

True

Or Arizona.

False

False

I can't wait to never go back.

True

I lived in Florida for seven years, hated it as well. I am in AZ, been here for two years, starting to hate it. I would love to move to the Northwest.

I think some of you just hate people

I thought AZ didn't have a state tax. Hum.

Also: Jacksonville is terrible.

Looking it up, the only states without state income tax are:

Texas, Florida (as mentioned), Alaska, New Hampshire, Tennessee, South Dakota (lol who cares), Washington, Nevada, and Wyoming.

Alaska and Washington are nice, Texas is alright, in the hill country. New Hampshire is probably awesome in the fall, but I'm not sure about anything else.

Tennessee has some pretty awesome places if you like nature.
