She is lucky to have you and have that choice. *hugs*
Of moving more northerly, the cold does not deter me so much as the shorter season of green and less length of sunlight. In MD, I miss the longer lovely springs of NC, where I lived for a decade--the about 2 weeks are noticeable to me--but the fall foliage is much better here than in NC. I grew up in south jersey, so the length of spring and fall is slightly longer here, but it's a pretty contiguous system. This immediate area is rather devoid of pines, which green also made my winters in NC easier.
