I love it! But guess what Jackie? They say it might snow soon.
Unbelievable!
Living under the jet stream makes for interesting weather.

Seriously, snow? I believe it. Lived here all my life and I know how
capricious our weather can be. If we do get a few flakes, it won't last
long, but the robins will probably look up and wonder, "crap, did I come
back too soon?"

Most of my family lives in southern AZ now, and it's hot there 9 months out
of the year, I mean seriously hot. I have easily resisted their siren call
to go live there. You can always put more clothes on to stay warm, but only
so many you can take off to stay cool (well, in public, anyway).

The only thing I really hate about winter is trying to get anywhere if there
is a snowstorm during rush hour(s) which, around the Twin Cities, means
"most of the day, except for maybe 12 noon to 2:00 pm weekdays and early
morning on the weekends". I actually like winter most of the time.
Stargazing and DXing are better in the winter by far, and I love X-country
skiing and snowshoeing along the St. Croix river valley and along the north
shore of Lake Superior.
