JennieG... "I truly can't imagine what it would like to live in a climate which gets several feet of snow each winter."

I can. It would be a change for the better.

Moncton, NB.ca has been in the high 20s with Humidex in the high 30s but we have had enough of a breeze most days that allowed Mum to sit in the shade. Takes me as long as six beers to mow both lawns - two front and two back lawns.
