I know it sucks when the cold gets to far south because then we all have to pay the price for lost produce etc, and the extra money you southerns have to shell out because your equipment is freezing up and getting busted but nothing we can do to stop it.
I personally love winter. No yard work, no lawn mowing and no pool maintenance. What more could I ask for? I get a good 5 month vacation from all that. Nothing but play time on the snowmobile or sledding with the kids.
Don't get me wrong I love summer and time spent in the pool, but I think I would really get sick of looking at the same thing year around. I need change.
