So how hot are the summers there ? and how cold are the winters there. Also does it snow in the winter months ? I have been there in past for boating events but it was for 3 day trips only. So hard to say how the whole summer weather is thou out when visiting for 3 days only .

15,000,000 plants in 20 days!! Machine digs them up and shakes all the dirt off, but after that happens, they are sorted and each HAND PACKED by a large H2A crew from Baja Mexico.
Entire crew lives in employee housing on the farm and goes BACK to Ensenada as soon as we are done.
Wow ! This is amazing.

Not as hot as Texas. Summer temps 80-90* highs most of the time but some days in 70's and some into the low 100's with high humidity.
Snow is pretty minimal most winters and temps prob about 20* cooler than DFW area. Even a few inches of snow will cause havoc with all the hills. Once in a while a big storm will roll through and dump 6-10 inches or some freezing rain.
Biggest issue I see for you since you travel frequently is no major airport. One small airport at LOTO and then Columbia and Springfield are an hour+ away.

Thanks for all the beautiful locations suggested. As of now, I'm looking to move to a little warmer place with less harsh winters. Also think i want to stay more towards the east coast.
