Winter

Being from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I really don't have a problem with snow.  But I really don't care for bitter cold.  You might say, but isn't it colder in the U.P.?  No, not normally.  Being surrounded by the Great Lakes which are 32 degrees or warmer while still open, the U.P. is normally milder and does not experience the chill factors we do here in south-central Wisconsin.  But that open water certainly encourages the snow effect snow fall.  I never owned a snow blower while living up there.
