When we sold our place on Maui and moved here, it was because I was NOT going to go through another Michigan winter after being in warmth and sunshine for 17 years. I remember the Great Snow of January 1967 (26 inches), the April Surprise on April Fools Day ( 11 1/2 inches), the Blizzard of '78 ( 24 inches) and just the general little Alberta Poopers that would drop a couple inches of partly cloudy and then move on. By the end of a week of that you'd have a foot of snow piled up on the sides of your driveway. As a Chicago ex pat and now Las Vegas resident friend said to me "A dog shouldn't live in that weather".
