JXM, I actually like "s" in December and even January. But we generally get 4 months worth here. And some on the fringes in November and April. I live right in the regions snow belt. Where I live we get probably double what they get where AW lives, and that is only 30 some miles from me. Lake effect snows are very common. I did not mind snow at all before I had kids.....but I am not sure which is worse, between them staying inside and complaining they are bored...or having to bundle them up in snowsuits, hats, gloves, scarves, and boots. Then dealing with the cold wet clothes and children when they come in (of course the hot chocolate is made and waiting for them when they come in) We have great family photos of playing in the snow...and making snow men.

East coast snow never thrilled me too much though. Me either. Knowing where you are at, I'd love the S also. Mt. S that is. West of the Continental Divide, the "S", as the climates and cultures is quite different. One of the nice things about living closer to the lake than Jane is that we get longer(a little) growing season. My brother who lives right on the lake still has a full garden(not a frost yet, while we have recorded about 4 already, some five miles south as the crow flies) Back to the growing season. the moderate temps created by the lake in early spring provide us with better produce of peach and other fruits that tend to blossom early . As you go further south from the lake, they will get a frost later in the spring, killing most the blossoms more often than not. We have a slightly earlier "last frost" date than 30 miles south in the spring also as the lake warms and keeps the colder weather south. Yeah, when the Lake temps get a little cooler, she's gonna get whacked with the white stuff while it will miss us, generally. Sometimes, we get the lake effect, though more often than not, she is getting the white outs while we just get flurries. Good luck with your presentation tomorrow.
