FP,
I live in the trees of South Eastern Wisconsin (see the CICCI map I'm there)

. For some strange reason I get more snow here then any other area around me? Folks at work just a bit south of me will get an inch or two and I get dumped on.
I tell people that I lost a bet that's why I'm here (Cheese Heads!)

. I reality I took a new job and got out of the automotive industry after twenty five years. The area is beautiful it just seems like I am in a snow belt or something?

Part of the things you don't find out about an area when you are looking to relocate. Well at least I didn't...
Respectfully,
Paul (MisterTaz)
