If a married couple, about to retire, wants to get away from big cities, and find a place that has reasonably nice weather and is economical, is Erie, PA, a good place?
The reasons for choosing Erie are that it's a medium sized city, not close to a big city, and that it doesn't get hot very much there in the summer. A lot of other cities the same size have summer daytime highs averaging 90F. Erie sometimes gets to 90F, but not as often, and doesn't stay that hot for very long.
Some people like snow, and dislike summer heat. A good winter low is 20F. If some nights go below zero, that would be tolerable, as long as it's only some nights, and not the whole winter.
Does Erie have a bad mosquito problem? Does it ever get flooded by Lake Erie? What other problems should people be aware of when deciding whether to move there?
