At least the climate appears acceptably stable for the next couple of decades on your property.  As long as you are relatively safe from wildfire that is a plus over So. Cal.  I loved the climate, except during fire season, but I do not regret moving.

heh, operative word 'appears'...

i forgot wildfire, i am surrounded by forest 360°, and yes virginia, in summer i do get paranoid...

have cut all around house, and it would have to get through metre thick walls to get at the main beams, but that's no problem if the wind's strong and the heat intense.

don't go there!

Very strict rules about summer burning, and small plane surveillance helps. every year i see small roadside fires caused by buttflippers, and the plane is called in and over them in like 10 minutes!

A while back I saw a North Dakota firm that made a packaged home protection system that covers your house with a foam that will protect it from even intense wildfires.  Sorry that I don't have the reference.  I recall that it cost a few thousand dollars.
