EricofSD... VERY good quote...snow is just that, postcard material. :) I lived in Ohio all my life (outside of living in SE Michigan for 7 years but same thing). Last winter did it for me, having 60-some inches of snow in a winter season was too much for me so Wilmington, NC here I come...they average 2 inches a year here, and that accumulation usually only comes once every 2 or 3 years...hehe :) I like, I like a lot. MD PS...my car thanks me for moving to a warmer climate too...cars take a HUGE beating in winter snows and ices.
