LOL well, this is a bit extreme for us. Yes it gets cold and yes we get snow, but not usually like this. Maybe a little bit below zero, for a few days, maybe in January, but not much.

I wasn't born here, I actually grew up in the Seattle area, though we lived in the mountains and got more snow than the Seattle area did. Its a bit more extreme here (hotter summers and colder snowier winters) but not too bad. :)

I love winter for skiing and summer for all the other outdoor things you can do! :D
Besides, I need a little 4x4 in my life. Keeps things interesting. heheheh ;)
