I've got mixed feelings about our weather to be honest. "Up here" in southern Manitoba (2-300 miles from Hibbing) ya sure got yer changes alright; friggin cold winters to wicked hot summer (39 celcius yesterday) . But then clouds of mosquitos that'll drag off the kids if you're not careful ;). The thing about the US climate that throws me is the friggin storms, man. I mean holy shit!!! Florida? Any place that has a "Hurricane" season where you're nailing plywood up ... I dunno how you cope. Then you got yer tornadoes further west. I mean, yeah it gets cold and it gets hot and all, but it's at least predictable. sb
