Sticking out into the Atlantic as we do, the winters aren't bad at all.
2015 was the worst one in the last decade as we didn't get the thaw part of the usual freeze _thaw cycle.
Full disclosure: I did build a cab on my 30 hp tractor because I am such a wuss.
We get folks who visit and buy property. Of those we get two kinds. Some bail after six months because it is so quiet. The others will declare moving here saved their life.
