On the snowstorms part here, I don't agree. For 10 years we've
have mostly "wussy" winters. It is true that the "snow capital"
of Ohio, or about anywhere else in the region, is higher terrain
around Chardon, OH, dead east of Cleveland. Who lives there
anyway. Where I live, adjacent to Lost Nation Airport, too near
Lake Erie for serious lake-effect snows. Untypical of much of
Mentor, OH except for pricey parts, an idyllic, great neighbors,
quiet cul-de-sac street, homes about nestled in the woods. New
3-BDR split $73K in 1983, maybe $150K today if lucky. It's like
about anywhere else in moderate cost areas you choose to live.
Locally shop.

Happenstance home purchase location in 1983, what with the annual
warbird airshow lately at KLNN. This year a B-17, B-24, a
Lancaster, and assorted old cargo aircraft flying short final in
low fly-bys for Rwy 23 atop my house. Neighbors find it cool too.
