Greetings from The Great White North!

Ass snappin' cold made me chuckle.

As one who grew up and lived in Mid Michigan until 1979, winters with snow anywhere around the Great Lakes can be the worse.

yes, this is what i've been told also. my husband lived in minnesota and utah and i've been told that MN is buttf***ing frigid, utah has the best powdery snow and what i experienced was the slush of the east. i guess based on that i would be willing to vacation in western canada or the utah area during the winter. probably won't do eastern canada again unless it's another season though, lol.
