Ah yes...according to various news outlets we (that would be Minneapolis and the central plains in general) are about to get a snow beatdown. Awesome! Growing up I always considered myself a warm-weather person and I must confess that I probably do still prefer the sun and warm weather to anything else. But I've found that I really like having 4 "real" seasons.
I'm looking forward to a serious snowstorm and getting back out on the snowboard in real (not manufactured) snow.
