[Eric in the Ozarks]

In February, 1999, we drove down to the Lake of the Ozarks from our home in Minnesota. It was a balmy weekend at the Lake, with highs in the mid 60s.

We had left a snowy neighborhood where we had to dig out the mailbox nearly every day so our mailman could deliver.

The warm morning air in Mizzou hit wife and I with the same idea at the same time. What the heck are we doing in Minnesota, freezing our tails off ?

Our MN house was sold the following July. We built new down here in 2001.

That’s great! I am a native Missourian, but I did spend 1 year in Vermillion, S. Dakota. It was interesting experience, and a very long, cold, and snowy winter. Snow was built up on the sides of the roads taller than our trailer.

I walked out to the mailbox one morning and sank into the snow drift up to my shoulders. Couldn’t wait to get back to Missouri Weather. LOL
