I LOVE it!
FWIW I think a 'real' winter is a regularly scheduled natural 
disaster. Like all disasters you have to prepare for it. When we 
moved to Chicago after leaving Hawaii and winter came along I learned 
a lot. I'd never lived where there was a 'real' winter before.

let's see... earthquakes, tornados, fires, tidal waves... boy the 
risk free places are getting slim <G>!

Good luck.
