I live in the Prairies....Saskatchewan. Our winters are pretty vicious here. -40 for a week straight is definately not unheard of. We got a blizzard in April a couple of years ago that dumped a ton of snow and 130 km/hour winds that knocked out power all night.
Snow here isn't the issue though. Some years we barely get any snow. It is the cold that is the issue LOL.

Every year? Every month! They had the cross over down by the Walgreens on Texas closed off for two weeks and suddenly one day it's open again.
And the construction on University by the vet school is ridiculous. They can't decide whether to keep both lanes open or only one. Annoying.
I gotta admit I do this, a lot. To Texas from University I always forget that the lane just continues and sit there for a while making sure I won't get creamed as I go out. Which is probably still a good idea sometimes...
Bah I come from a town of 20,000 people. College Station is the largest town I've ever lived in lol. Movie and mall? Woot! The closest mall we had back home we had to drive 30 minutes to.
But there's other things to do. Like the Speedway is right outside of town when they got something going on, then there's all the different organizations around. Plus the stuff on campus (like the rec) and all the parks (we have like, 20 of them). Golf courses, and the like. Much, much more than my old town had.

OH OH OH I FORGOT ONE.
I REALLY dislike some of the tourists lol.
we live in Amish country lol so people come from all over to gawk. they don't seem to realize that there are other people that also live and work here that are not Amish and just want to get to where they are going.... so PLEASE when you pass an Amish buggy.... don't stop your vehicle in the middle of the road and get the whole family out to harrass the Amish and take your pictures while traffic piles up behind you. We aren't all as enamoured with the buggies as you might be. chances are you will see another buggy at some point in time.

I love IN in general........the climate, the surroundings, but I don't like our town 
IT'S TOO BIG! Our population is less than 30,000 and to some that would seem small but to me it is too big. I don't feel safe letting the kids roam around town (and don't) As soon as it's dark the younger ones (age 7 & 11) don't even get to be in our own front yard We are just too close to Chicago land for me to relax........LOL
I am used to living in VERY small places (like 1-2 stop lights in the whole town) No matter where my parents moved us it was ALWAYS tiny.
