I just moved to Ohio and boy are my arms tired!

[EstimatedProphet]

I got away from Georgia! Yaaayyyyy!
Ohio DUers, is there any kind of get-togethers or meetups that are scheduled? I'm in the Akron-Canton area.

[johnnie]

1. I'm in the Cleveland area

Welcome to Ohio :hi:
I haven't heard of a get-together yet. You are about an hour from me.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Cool

I like Cleveland. Very blue-collar, pro-labor area. Great Lakes Brewing Company too!

[TOhioLiberal]

3. I'm in T-Town...

...that's Toledo for the uninitiated :P. I would look forward to a meetup of some kind...

[EstimatedProphet]

6. The Prophetess has cousins in Toledo

I was there over Thanksgiving. Looked pretty cool.

[NewJeffCT]

4. Is this a Red to Pink migration

Or, did you do it for other reasons?

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Moved in with the Prophetess

Got fed up with the long-distance relationship thing, and being employed. So I resigned my job and moved here.

7. Get a snowshovel and a parka

You might be able to store them between June and September. If you're lucky.

[EstimatedProphet]

8. Yeah, there's a good 6 inches of snow right now

But nothing beats the Georgia ice storm of last weekend! I had a full inch of ice coating everything on the truck Saturday morning. The roads were like that too, and people still tried to drive 70 mph and swerve around traffic. Idiots.

[zbdent]

9. Not that long ago, Cleveland/Akron/Canton had their fair share of

ice. An inch would have been a blessing.

I'm talking only a matter of weeks.

Let's see. Above-freezing temperatures while rain poured onto the area in huge amounts. During the night, the temperature dropped into the teens, and the rain turned into snow, piling onto the ice that had formed.

Yeah, an inch would have been lovely.

After all that, I still am glad I'm not in Buffalo . . .

[EstimatedProphet]

12. Yes, around Christmastime my fiance got out just before it hit

Thye had her plane sitting on the runway for 4 hours in Cleveland. It was ugly-18 inches of snow.
However, I'll still take snow over rural Georgia rednecks. They breed in the heat.

[LynneSin]

10. Did you think about using a truck of some sort instead of carrying it all

:shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

11. Ohhhhh! Now you tell me!

Why didn't I think of that?!

[LynneSin]

13. someone should have warned you

:cry:

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. Cleveland here.

Eastern suburbs.

[EstimatedProphet]

20. That's really only an hour away

[Justin54B20L]

15. Welcome to Ohio!

Hope you like the weather :evilgrin:

Don't know of any get-togethers myself, I'm in Bowling Green here, home of the windiest freakin campus in Ohio.

[EstimatedProphet]

21. How big is the campus?

I'm going to be looking for post-docs, so it might be worth checking.

[Justin54B20L]

30. I consider it a decent size.

But I might be a little biased due to the fact that my HS graduating class was all of 76 students. BGSU has roughly 20,000 students to it on a fairly nice campus.

Check it out for yourself.

16. Clevelander here.

It's nice to hear about someone moving to Ohio for a change. Welcome!

And if a Northeast Ohio gathering happens, I'll absolutely be there, but I haven't heard about anything.

[EstimatedProphet]

22. OK

Hey, maybe it's time to try and plan one...and I'll do the legwork-new guy rules and all.

[Deep13]

17. Medina County

I am one county west of you. Welcome to the Mississippi of the North.

[EstimatedProphet]

23. Now, I don't know about that...

I lived in Mississippi for 7 years, and Ohio is nothing like it from what I have seen so far...
BTW MST3K fan?
