OH.....we miss the snow! But we don't want any in Alabama, we don't have the equipment to take care of the roads like we did in Wisconsin. We only lived there for 5 years, but it was sooooo different for us that we enjoyed every second of it. We loved the snow, the actual 4 seasons, the drier heat of summer, just everything about it. But then we were only 3 miles off of Lake Michigan too, so it was very scenic as well.
Love your animals too. We had a squirrel that would come up to the door and eat out of my DH's hand during the winter. He is just a big softie about every animal.
