Review of Salem, Oregon


Weather in Salem, Oregon
Star Rating - 3/11/2008
Salem is a nice place to live but the winters can be too long, dreary and rainy for my taste. Looking forward to retirement in an area where I can golf year-round. The golf courses are open all year here, but you'll need waterproof boots to slosh around the fairways some of the time. Summers can be quite hot some days but not that often. The humidity is pretty low, which is a great thing on those hot summer days. But, be sure and store up on those lovely summer days and commit them to memory because you'll need to keep them in mind to make it through the winter!
