Recently, I came across an article that discussed the cost of living in Buffalo, NY, based on what I read, our cost of living is significantly lower than that of New York City… This is 1 of the main reasons why my partner John plus I decided to transfer to Buffalo about 15 years ago.
Both of us lived in the city, plus every one of us were barely making it, especially with 2 kids.
Thankfully, every one of us were able to get transfers through our tasks, which made the transfer to Buffalo seamless, however as with any city, living in Buffalo has been both a gift plus a curse. A gift because every one of us adore the people plus there is lots to do, plus a curse because the weather can be quite brutal… If you think nothing about Buffalo, the Wintertide weather is blisteringly cold, plus it snows a lot here. And unfortunately, my partner works outside, so he is always dealing with the elements, however he works as an HVAC business, so you can only imagine that while every one of us were in the Wintertide weeks, he’s outside fixing lots of broken down HVAC units! So, the severe weather can become an issue due to icy conditions plus severely low hot plus cold temperatures. This means that he had to find ways to cope with the brutal weather outside. He got some wonderful tips from other HVAC businesss who have been doing it longer than him. He discovered how to keep his hands hot by wearing specialty gloves. Also, he discovered some tricks on how to keep his ladder sturdy when the conditions are icy outside. There is no solution to the weather, although I am delighted that John has found some ways to labor around the elements.
