Thank you. I didn't ask but figured that was what it was. When I lived in Hi we had a lot of people there that came from Canada to live for the winter months for the same reason. That's why I like it here. Once in a while we get hit hard but not too often. I wouldn't mind the snow if I could afford to stay home inside and ride it out and if my house was nice and warm but since both of those things are distance fantacies I'll just settle for mellow winters when we get them like this yr.
