@tgraph52 trap doors in the roof should be a new custom option.
It’s beautiful if you’re not living in it. 😍
we moved from MN to NM...
I like the snow we get here better... on the mountains at a distance.
@tgraph52 I grew up at 4,000ft elevation and miss the air up there but not the cold! We rarely had the kind of extreme weather like this back then. 1969 was the last really deep snow year I lived there. Too much hassle!!
Hubby wears shorts here year round because the Sacramento Valley “doesn’t get cold”. He’s from MN too.😁
We're at 6000ft and get some few inches of snow sometimes... not often. It's usually gone by noon.
I can deal with that.
@tgraph52 gone by noon is doable. So much your roof caves is insane. 6,000ft is high up! Did it take long to adjust? I’m used to the valley now but when I go home I just breath better. My lungs recognize home.
MN is flat land... as my wife from CA pointed out many times.
6K took some getting used to but we love it here. There's mountains in every view and the desert is actually quite beautiful.
who knew we'd have a monsoon season?? 😀
@tgraph52 it’s flat, flat, flat, in MN! 😄 Much like the valley here. A really big difference in climate.
My childhood home is high desert and I love visiting! But I like being on the wet side of the Sierra.
I didn't understand flat lands until I left and came back...
The climate here is like the opposite of MN and my wife, an avid gardener, is learning/relearning most everything.
We went back to MN for a visit last Aug.. and instantly felt the humidity... but it's almost oppressive to us now.
@tgraph52 high elevation gardening is a different animal. Much takes adjustment at elevation. Baking is different too.
@tgraph52 you need that chart for sure! 👍🏻👍🏻
I use it all the time now. It has made a big difference in baking.
