I was born in Ohio and the school board President when I graduated is my father-in-law. Spent 30 years in Wisconsin, fished on the lakes on New Years Day while sitting in my Suburban on the Ice, and saw -40 for a temp. Now live in Texas and refuse to shovel the snow with a spade... Ride the bike on any day that is not iced over.. In the North that was April to October.
