Bobby,
I also grew up with snow living on Long Island, NY. Then I moved to the Sierra Nevada mountains in California and did line work for 20 years. We would snowshoe in 30 feet of snow and work on utility lines at eye level. As I get older, I don't miss it a bit. I have many good memories though. Sometimes though, I just can't help myself and want to see who has enough guts to brave the Florida "sunshine" in their shorts (if they can even find them).
Just one picture of someone in shorts and flipflops with snow on their shoulders and head would be great to see.
