Nope. I'll stay in So.Cal, where, when it goes below PLUS 40 degrees it's "damned cold" by local opinions. I grew up on the south-eastern border of Lake Erie, and know something of highly piled snow and bitter cold and winter winds. That's ONE of the reasons I moved to So. Cal.

South eastern border of Lake Erie? In New York State somewhere south
of Buffalo? Pennsylvania around Erie?
Very early on, I lived in Geneva (just west of Ashtabula, which is west of Erie), later in Mentor where I spent all my time until I moved west to good ol' Californee!
As a kid in Geneva area, we used to see drifts of 10 feet or more, regularly. Easily a foot or two on the gound. Packed snow on all the roads, except for Rt. 20, all winter long.
No longer. The snow doesn't stay. Not on the south shore of Lake Erie...
Plenty of nasty weather, but the snow doesn't stay as it used to.
I was just in both of those places on the bus to Pittsburgh to meet Mark Roberts for the GFM travelling road show and extravaganza. Hard to tell what kind of place Erie is from the bus terminal. Buffalo is pretty much exactly like their bus terminal...
Thing is, they NEVER put bus terminals in decent places, do they?
