I do think if you lived most of your adult life in coastal CA and you moved to Meridian/Eagle/Star, you may not like the weather 6 months a year. I was born and raised in CA (San Francisco Bay Area) and we chose to move to Eagle about 8 years ago. The first few years took some adjusting, especially during the winter. I think my wife still misses a more temperate climate, while I have come to love the real four seasons. Fortunately for me, my wife hates the craziness of the politics in CA enough, she would never want to move back permanently.
