Me too. I remember the 1967 and 1979 storms in Chicago. In '79 they had almost 30 inches base accumulation, and the drifts went past second story windows. When I got bored with snowstorms, I moved to Los Angeles, where I became familiar with earthquakes. We were 6 blocks from the epicenter of the Richter 6.7 Northridge quake in 1994. By 1998 we were bored with earthquakes and so moved to Orlando. This year we got to investigate hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne up close and personal. I'm getting restless again. Maybe next we'll move to Mount St. Helens.
