I'm really surprised how many here actually like the cold and snow. I grew up on a farm, and there was nothing, and I do mean nothing good about it. Things haven't changed since for me, and everytime I hear some cutesy news anchor comment they sure would like to see some white stuff, I think, "yeah, you never had to lay under your truck and change a transmission* in that crap didja!".

*Or feed the cattle twice a day
or chop the ice on the pond so they could drink,
or walk to town for essentials 'cause you couldn't drive there,
or...

OK, so I moved a few hundred miles south, no longer farm, and seldom have the problems of the old days... I still say... Bah Humbug!
