rkm, it isn't the 36 degree that matters. It is rain everyday for weeks on end that make things tough. I would much rather deal with cold than with cold rain. But I shouldn't be talking about that now because there are lots of people here who would give anything for some of that weather.
That is however the reason we are getting over run with people moving here from other parts of the country. On a normal year we have only a couple of days above 90 and a couple of days below 25. No hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, thunderstorms, the few earth quakes are pretty mild, and no bad flooding. That one mountain that blew its top is a long ways from anything. We just get wet all winter.
