Why indeed! We have had over 150 inches of snow this year, and it's snowing outside right now. I've lived in the snow belt for 57 of my 61 years, and have one winter yet to go before we move to TV. Syracuse averages 121 inches per year (more than any other U.S. larger city). So by my calculation, I've endured nearly 6900 inches of snow in my life (that's about 575 feet!), and I only have about ten feet more to go before I can leave for good. So if you see a couple and their beagle (who, by the way, loves the snow) walking around sunny TV in the winter of 2012-2013 with impossibly wide smiles, it'll be us.
