Default Which US-state to live in ?

Wondering what US-state I should pick if I had to choose

First of all no states where the temperature goes high in the summer.

I love BBQ a well made T-bone Drool Drool and I love snow and cold.

Have to choose between Texas and Alaska.

Texas, doens't it get hot in the summer there ?

What state would you choose ?

I will move to Montana, marry a round American woman, I will raise rabbits and she will cook them for me.

My choice would be Montana.
A lot of ground, a lot of forests and not many people.

Pennsylvania, to where my sister and aunt emigrated in the '60s. When I visited I got treated like Royalty.

We are a completely independent nation entirely controlled by Hollywood.

Does Hawaii count? Hawaii sounds nice.

Personally, I would probably choose New York or Illinois, just because they seem geographically similar enough to Ontario and you would either be were the Blues Brothers or Leon: the Professional took place.

On the flip side, you want to avoid Kali-fornia.

^Beg to differ having lived all over the country and driven most of it; Napa CA or any place in New Hampshire will fill your fishing & temperature climate requirements. It can get hot in CA but it's a dry heat and not muggy like mosquito infested Minnesota. Northern CA away from major metropolitan areas, north of the Bay Area to the Oregan border is simply superb with Seattle/Vancouver or Oregon a good second choice.

I enjoy calling NC home! Beach or mountains not a far drive! However, you want to live in the right place.

We have great BBQ.

Texas, too hot, please!!
