It's only winter in the Northern Hemisphere outside of the Tropics...

Your right it summer time here.

What's Winter?

This is what I call winter:

A.H. I've seen it snow down there so don't say you never seen Winter.

Actually, I was born in Buffalo, NY and lived in the North East most of my life.

I have seen 60" of snow fall in 24 hours up near East Aurora NY (had to go to school both days, darn!), -50°F in Black River Falls, WI (went to school that day, darn!), and 12" of ice and snow in Phoenixville, PA.

Had enough snow and shoveling, thank you. :-)

Don't do much snow shoveling here just once in a while. Like today

I was born and raised in Bismarck, North Dakota. I remember January of 1977. One night I went outside to fetch something I had left in my car, wearing nothing but a pair of jeans and a pair of moccasins. I had to stop, bare chest and all, because it was such a beautiful night. Crystal skies and not a breath of wind, though my skin was beginning to prickle after a few minutes. On the way in I noticed the thermometer by my door. It was forty-seven Fahrenheit degrees below zero!

I might also add that, I always thought that there was something friendly about the burble of a well-tuned radial. As opposed to the impersonal scream of turbines.
