Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoy the kind of weather available in the
southern half of the country. I guess though, over the years I've come to
enjoy those cold winter days where you step outside and you take a breath
and realize that the air is so cold you can't breath it in!! Then there are
the
October ice storms, WOW, heck last year Lincoln lost half its trees due to
an ice and then 12" snow storm. Looked like a war zone!! Uh Gee, maybe I
better shut up before I decide I need to move.........
