Susan, you know you are "up north" when you see power outlets at every stall in the local motel parking lot!

Some friends and I were talking about the weather when we were little kids....we used to get real blizzards in the 70's here in Indiana....snow piled on the sides of the road way higher than the schoolbus ! We had huge snow tunnels all over the back of the yard....and Dad would get out the hose and spray them with water to really freeze it for us....back when we really had snow.
We haven't had those kinds of snows for years, and I've had people tell me that out east too....just not the same. I do believe it's alot of global warming attributing to this.

Honestly, I'd rather have the temp stay at Zero than be at +25. It IS way drier & rarely snows at ZERO.
I can't handle the dampness - summer or winter.

It keeps the block warm and it is much easier on your vehicle. Nobody sells a car or truck up here without one! Again... Thank goodness!!!

Don't rub in the warm weather! Of course to you 47 (above) is probably chilly!!
