Living in the south does have some drawbacks. Mosquitos the size of birds, lack of air conditioning being possibly fatal, alligators bigger than the average canoe..... No matter what though, I think about artic dude and snow banks 6 feet high, and I know I'm where I belong! We had one good snow this year. That was enough for me. I just hope we don't repeat what happened last year. We skipped spring and went straight into hot and dry summer. My garden suffered, the front creek dried up, and the a/c never got shut off for three months straight.
