In a few months I will be wishing I lived anywhere in the south. I’ll remember your comment, make some hot cocoa and trundle through another Minnesota winter knowing that the freezing temps keep away poisonous creepy crawlies.
I lived 18 years in Detroit. Although there might not be too many of the creepy crawlies there (non human that is), the winters are long and often brutal.
I’ve been up your way in the summers, but never in the winter. I don’t want to freeze my face off. Hehehe
