the summers are hot.. damn hot but I love it, the winters are mild with a normal low of -10 and high of 0 but we do get cold snaps down to -20 (lows)
as for where to buy I went with water.. I ended up deciding I didn't want to be on a well so I bought in dallas on the river side. one block from me there is a house for sale for 2.2 mill  accros the street therte is one for sale for 280. nice quiet area bigger lots (hard to find now) and a bunch of good niebours

I spent 15 years there growing up. I do like the summers but they can keep the winters. When i went back there in 2003 the first winter got down to -50's without the windchill. I had to work outside in it, I worked for MTS. Scientists have sed that if you lived in Winnipeg you can live just about any where in the world. it gets hotter than a dessert and colder than Antarctic.

I,m ok with the cold Bill. I did spend 30yrs. in Thompson, so its actually somewhat mild in Brandon in comparison.
For sure the short drive to the coast is attractive to me, with my brother in Langley. A day trip to JL or Wendall,s also sounds pretty good.
