[Paladin2]

I grew up in Buffalo, NY and am acquainted with snowy, Winter weather.

I also lived in Ala. a couple of times.

Now I live pretty much North of 40 deg. at various longitudes all year.

Living in a place like Fairbanks, Alaska or International Falls, Minn. is a whole different and serious thing.

Oh indeed Fairbanks or International Falls is a challenge of an entirely different magnitude.
