    A bunch of us in Southern Ontario can relate to the snowy kilted experience.
    Goes From cold and snow (Dec, Jan Feb), then a brief warm-up (April May), them blazing heat and humidity (june, July Aug Sept) then a brief cool down in Oct or Nov. much like Michigan and Buffalo. In fact Michigan usally gets the snow a few hours before we get it. And it usually dumps more snow south on Buffalo and New York State than us. They call us the great white north. There is quite a few areas that can boast the same south of the border.
    Beautiful country in Northern Michigan. I have spent a few hours in Traverse City, and angeling on the Platt, Manistee, Betsie and Pere Marquette rivers in the Benzonia ( Benzie county) area. It looks a lot like Northern Ontario except for the piles of sugar beets and carrots to bait the deer and the shot guns strapped behind the drivers heads in the pick-up. I am cool with the beer being sold at every corner, grocery store and party store there is. I like Michigan a lot.

    Great pics and I have to say I'm jealous. It's one thing I really miss about Nevada is snow. I'm sure you were plenty warm!

    You mean Nebraska, right? I would love to live in Nevada. Las Vegas downtown bicycle patrol. I would be kilted everyday.

    WHAT!?!?!?!?! It doesn't even feel like we've had any this year. It's been a thoroughly dissappointing winter in my book.

    I'm disappointed because the only snow we got in Frederick that amounted to anything happened on the weekend, so I didn't get off of work any. If I have to shovel snow, I want a day off.

    same here in NYC - the only BIG snowstorm of the year hit on a SUNDAY!!! They had the roads cleared by Sunday eve so there was no real excuse for not going to work on Monday, but left enough schmutz on the sidewalks to ruin several pairs of shoes (and not to mention what it woudl have done to a kilt if you had fallen in the puddles while wearig one - gotta keep on toiopic here )

    I wanted a real snow day DAMMIT!!!

    BUT they are predicting a stronger than usual hurricanm season... maybe there will be enough rain one day to shut down the subways again... not that i want Katrina winds & damage etc but just enough to flip my pleats & give me a reason to stay home
    ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!
