some one asked how do i handle 9 months of winter well its not 9 months but sometimes it is a good 7 months the winters up here vary so much since i lived here since 1985. When you are raised in a climate like this you dont know any different. we do get some very cold days up here i remember working in minus 50 degree weather thawing out pumpjacks with heaters.the gearoil would get so thick in the jacks it would cut out breakers. But i do like having season changes i know at the end of summer i am anxios for winter even though it gets cold you do get climatized. there are many winter activaties to do in the winter snowmobiling at one time was my favorate. We have many weiner roast over an open fire in the winter you can really appreciate the fire then. I find the best time to splite firewood is when it is 40 below it splits very easy when winter is over it feels really nice to enjoy the suns warmth in the spring. im not sure if i could handle just having one season but you dont know until you try right?
 
I like the seasonal change too. Even when you hve to blow snow. Hal

I'm in northeastern MD near the PA and Delaware state line. That picture was taken in Feb 2010
when we were hit with 2 big snow storms. That 10hp snowblower sure came in handy and I made about $100.00 blowing off driveways. Hal

I think you tend to appreciate the seasons more when they change. If the weather/seasons stayed the same year round we would not have the same enjoyment of them.
We may have extreme cold and lots of snow but little to no tornadoes (they do happen but not as regularly as in some areas). We're pretty lucky up here!

Small world, in a previous job I flew with Jim up to his camp around Nestor Falls to work on his satellite dish. Love flying in those bush planes!
