Lived in St. Paul, Minnesota for 46 years, then moved to Phoenix in 2006. It's too hot here in the summertime. But no snow in the wintertime. And no skeeters, the Minnesota state bird. :)Doesn't matter where I live. I'll be one of the lucky ones that die in the first week. Maybe even the first day. :)

In one book I read, it made the zoms harder to kill, because the frozen brain was harder to destroy. The head was just one solid block of ice enclosed by a skull.

Not after the Mall of America finishes their expansion. :)
I live in Northern Vermont.Low population, rural area, mountainous (difficult terrain). Lots of farms too. It gets cold in the winter with lots of snow. Cold may not make it easier to kill them but deep snow is a bitch to walk through.
Hunting and nearly non-existent gun laws make for lots of guns and other weapons.
Gainesville, Florida. I'm screwed during the zompoc. The city is heavily populated and the weather never drops below freezing, My best hope is that they'll rot quickly in the hoy weather.
Jacksonville, Florida.Same problems as Scott above. I guess we'll enjoy the sun and sand until we're bitten.

I'm also in Florida. Go Gators! We don't have a lot of gun restrictions here, either. We also have many, many retirees in the sunshine state. You know what they say- you don't have to swim faster than the sharks, just faster than the other people in the water. I think I'll be fine when the zombies come.
I live in Houston, TX, so I'm pretty much screwed at baseline (pre-ZA). After the ZA? Fuhgeddaboudit!!!
Florida as well. Our zombies will live on as the Swamp Thing!
I'm from Western Massachusetts. I'm not worried. Some of my best friends are zombies. I've even friended six of them on my Facebook. I mostly text back and forth with the others since they can't talk. One of them recently lost all of his digits so he just tweets...you know...like the birds.
I'm from Wisconsin, which means a lot of farm land and during winter the zombies may freeze. Close to escape to Canada and Alaska if need be...but I need to work on my survival skills..
Connecticut here, we have very cold winters as well, hard for survival but good for freezing/ slowing the dead! Been noticing items around the house house that may be helpful in a ZA like hunting knives & even a sword!!
Hi Dan from Boston here ... hopefully I will be out having fun in western MA. , NH or ME when it happens and I got a few bucks to get supplies and bug-out ! Only the people who are on the road in boston and find out early are getting out
Up here in Alaska...its cold...low population...lots of weapons...our own supply of gas and coal....not attached to the North American electrical grid...we might just all die of scurvy instead of zombies.
Scotland, so I guess I'm dead meat :)
Eugene Oregon - a lot of water, rivers and ocean. As well as mountains. the landscape could be useful when the dead hit the fan.
Hi. Nige in South Derbyshire, England. I regularly plan my survival when on the evening dog walk :-) . How to block the roads, whose houses to raid for supplies. escape routes and prepped cars. And what weapons & defences I can make as we don't have that many guns over here.
Missouri, smaller town which is a plus but there are 5,000 people here so still not the best. Everybody hunts, so weapons available. Mostly flat ground and few tall buildings so hard to form defense.
Denmark, therefore cold. At the moment I live in quite a big city (for this country), but if im allowed a few years, I might half make it. Planning on moving to the middle of nowhere and getting plenty of dogs, which may or may not be an advantage, depending on the zombies. However, biggest downfall, good luck getting a gun around here. And your trusting sporting goods stores got none, so I might get screwed very fast.
I think guns are over rated....a shovel...long handled hammer....a very good baseball bat...all are very good weapons and won't run out of bullets...or have mechanical breakdown. (We have a cricket bat...)

Rhode Island here, and live on Aquidneck Island 37.8sq miles qnd population 60k+,almost double in the summer. Three land bridges connect it to any mainland and are a nightmare under normal circumstances, ZA..forget it. Plenty of boat tho, so I'll need to hook up with someone who can hotwire one or knows how to sail. Plenty of friends and family with guns and ammo tho, got a 23.71% survival chance.On my mobile, forgive the grammar, punctuation, etc..
I have been thinking about boats lately as an escape route but what if the military is afraid of the infection and blows up all boats on certain waterways. I just read a book where a Govenor and all his Elites got blown up with a bunch of other boats trying to leave by the ocean.
I'm from Texas (rural area near Tyler) but living south of Nashville now. Either place the big advantage would be guns and ammo aplenty. If I'm in Texas when it hits there will be plenty of huge zombie trucks to pick from, wells for water are everywhere, and lots of people still grow their own food or there is a ton of stuff to eat in the wild. If I'm in Nashville it will be a little tougher because I'd have to head south and away from the city fast. My trouble will be that I will do something stupid and get munched. Try to save a stray dog, rescue a cat from a tree, or I'll be in terrible heels when it hits and get chomped before I get home to my boots. I'm crossing my fingers I'm home in Texas - between the gun to human ratio and my family's hoarder/ bunker mentality and remote location I'd have a chance for a while. Until I ran out of smokes and got snacked on at a Snack Shack raiding the Marlboros and Kit Kats. Yeah I'm probably joining the zombie hoard :)
Michigan.Bad luck leads to Eating survivors.
I drove from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo, Michigan yesterday. My GPS on my smart-phone, Betty Darling, (who isn't so smart a lot of times) took me through some amazing farmland and past chicken farms and red barns. Lovely rolling hills. Sweet sunset. And all I could keep thinking, was, 'where are the zombie hordes?'

Wappingers Falls , New YorkI think we have more of a dangers if red neck bandits then the zombies.
We have a lot of woods and a dense concentration of forest to the north of us. A lot of farm land and places where it looks like the movie Wrong Turn might happen.
Undisclosed location, which means (a) I'm a private person, or (b) I have a bunker I don't want everyone knowing about. I also watched a lot of MacGyver growing up so I think I'm prepared for pretty much anything as long as I don't lose my pocket knife.
Checked the bunker lately? We changed the locks last week. :)
Northern Washington for me. We live in a fairly rural area. Being more than 20 miles from the nearest small town will help in the initial days. We have a few great neighbors which would really help us watch out for one another.
Indiana. There are so many gun freaks here. When the zombies come, I can borrow some from my nutty neighbor.
Richmond,Va in the heart of the city.I'm doomed
I'm in Ireland, we're going to offer tax breaks to the zombies and use them as a tourism initiative. We'll set up an interpretive centre and do pony and trap rides there and back.
I'm in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, which pretty much just sucks. Too many surrounding military bases, the largest private shipyard in the world, and in general,way too high of a population. We'll be alright if we can make it to our BOL, but that depends highly on the type of zombie we get. We have a 200 acre site with sustaining resources on premises, a lot of nasty surprises, and a last-resort hidey-hole. I am one paranoid lady, and my wonderful man indulges my paranoia.
Besides, what better money pit is there, than disaster preparation?
=)
I'm in Eunice New Mexico with the population about 2000, give or take a few. Kind of cuts down on the zombie population should there ever be one, and the desert seems like a good place to be when it hits!
I'm in the northern part of Alberta, Canada - just a little north of Edmonton.
My main advantage will be the cold come winter - we regularly hit -40 Celsius, so the zoms are going to be frozen solid. I hope. We also have the West Edmonton Mall, which is the largest in North America. We all know to head to the mall, right?
