At least you still get snow...I lived in the UP of Michigan for 17 years and now live in Baltimore...I not only long to dig tunnels for my three dachshunds...I also long to use my XC skis...got so desperate that the last big storm we had I skiied around the neighborhood...while all the Baltimorons in the neighborhood looked out at me with their dazed "Help us we dont know what to do in snow" gazes..like I was either some freak or a real life snow angel! I miss snow, winters are just cold and ugly without it! Melissa
