I spent the first 43 years of my life living with winters full of

February.

There once were a few years when I would spend a weekend at
an Army Reserve Unit not far from Buffalo. Weather was
usually ok, but there was a time or two when I learned the
meaning of the words "lake effect."

Yes, snow can be beautiful. But given a choice, I remain
solidly of the opinion that over 100 degrees F is better
than under 32 degrees F. Just personal preference, acquired
in childhood...
