I also have a problem with this. I actually picked myself up from florida to move to Washington state, like you. I moved on a whim. I met a guy when I was in the Air Force and fell madly in love and we moved there when he got out. I moved to Puyallup. I can honestly say I love washington, but like you, I hated the weather. I have no advice for you, but I just wanted you to know you are not alone. I still haven't found any tools that work for me just yet!
