I like VA alot better than NH. Every time we go visit NH I like it, but just for a week then I want to go home. I think it's because I'm into warmer weather, I love that everything starts blooming in February. We only have 3 months where the trees are dead looking. We get no more than 10 inches of snow.
The thing I had to get used to here is using a central air system, most houses have them. You run a/c most of the year then you switch to heat for 3 months then it's back to a/c. Another thing We needed to get used to was the people are overly friendly.
Funny story...
My first year here I was getting donuts at dunkin' donuts for my family for Christmas Eve morning. I got two dozen... A gentleman grabbed the keys out of my hand for my mustang GT, I about died. I thought I was getting mugged or carjacked. He unlocked my car door, put the donuts in my passenger seat, started my car, and wish me a very merry Christmas

People down here are overly friendly and it's a bit of a change. They like to touch you and that's something that I have not gotten used to still even being here for 7 years.
