Maybe people don't like winter [View all]

Because it's so variable. We got about 4" of snow, which is the 3rd accumulation since the middle of Nov. For the last 2 or 3 years, we've had very little snow, either flurries or accumulation. No matter what, for 3 months out of the year, we have to keep in mind that we might get rain, sleet, snow, or maybe all 3, and keep our plans flexible. The temperature tomorrow is going to be 8. The temperature on Th. is going to be 60. Who wants to put up with crazy?!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
