Wow! Wish we could get in on some of the action. Down here in Louisiana the winters are pretty mild, however we do get the occasional cold blast down to the low 20's and rarely to the upper teens. A flake or two of snow per winter if we're lucky, with an accumulation about once every 4-7 years or so.
