TampaBayBrad was the one trying to get a rise out of us guys who live in the cooler temps. I just get tired of the Florida guys pulling this every winter. They want our sympathy when yet another hurricane wipes them out year after year, but then they like to make snarky comments as soon as winter arrives. There are good and bad things about every place in this country. Winter stinks, but so do hurricanes, tornadoes, mudslides, wildfires and earthquakes! We have a hurricane every once in awhile, but I've never had any property damage because of one. As for tornadoes, wildfires, mudslides and earthquakes, we don't have to worry about them, ever. That makes New England a great (and safe) place to live.
