Fred, Yeh, we went from Houghton (72-77) to Kalamazoo (by way of Dallas for 11 years). We now reside in a little town that defines the "Lake Effect" zone. I knew that I moved back to the right place when I was stopped at a traffic light with snow coming down so hard that I couldn't tell what color it was and the radio was broadcasting a weather report that said to expect some light snow showers. I have busted through snow that was over the hood of my Jeep Cherokee just to get to the barn and my tractor mounted snow blower.
BTW, sorry for the late reply on this but my "smart phone" wasn't sending emails and wasn't telling me that it wasn't.
