Yep, it's cold here.  Winters are LONG too:  last frost date
is theoretically June 1, and can be as late as June 20.
There have even been (very rare, thankfully) frosts here in
July and August.

On the other hand, summers are usually very pleasant, we
almost never need air-conditioning.  Spring and Fall are
glorious here.
