We are a little bit east of the "tornado belt".  I've only found reference to 
4 tornadoes ever touching down in this county.  The last 2 in 95 & 06, don't 
know if that is a trend.

Weather is variable.  It may get to zero a couple of times a year but can go 
back up to fifty's in  less than a week.  More normal is below freezing at 
night but back up to maybe 40 during the day.  because of fluctuating temps 
snow doesn't stay on ground for very long.

I saw the latest Power Ball numbers in the local paper so I guess that means 
it is available here.
