Hey, MineralMan. I visited Minn in the middle of winter, and loved it. The cold air there seems dry to me, and the sun shines a whole lot more than in the snow belts downwind of the great lakes.

As long as you keep your car from freezing solid, I think you will find it "bracing".

We get damp cold, and constant grey skies. It can feel colder here at 32 degrees than there at 10 below.

Yeah, right. Bracing. I'm bracing for it all right. Really, I don't mind. I'm a long-time skier, so I've been around winter weather for a long time. Besides, my house has a heated garage, so the heck with winter.

Truly, I just signed up for a snow removal service for the winter. It costs just about as much as buying a decent snow blower and the guy is about two blocks from me. He says my place will be second on his list, after his own house. Then he ranges out from there.

I priced snow blowers this weekend. $100 a month will go a long way, I think.

I'm an old man (59). I ain't shoveling snow! [grin]
