I don't mind the winter once my blood adjusts. We have about 3 inches of snow here in Cleveland and it was about 16 this morning. I try to go out and walk most days, I just bundle up. I think I hate hot summers with 90+ weather more than cold winters. Beefy, one of our favorite places to vacation is up in Jasper . My husband always says he wants to retire there. I'll have to tell him about the 2 snow free months. We were there in July.
