That's why I moved out of the state 17 years ago.... COLD & SNOW SUCK !! But I do miss the pizza and hot dogs. So I traded it for warm all year round.

This winter has gotten real old. We got about 7 inches on Cape Cod of wet/icy snow. Just when the roads were starting to clear up and now this Won't last long this time of year though.

This is my first time being stationed in the south and I love it. I don't miss all the snow and "Winter Activities" at all. Another member of the vette club I'm in is always saying " HOW MANY FOLKS DO YOU KNOW RETIRE AND MOVE NORTH???"
