Oh, I forgot to mention the location of my snow filled winters. I was born
and raised in Pommerania, the island of Usedom, a short strip of land with a
huge lake on one side and the Baltic Sea on the other with endless forests,
white beaches, and acres of corn and potato planting. I never disliked snow
and if I miss it too much I visit my daughter in Flagstaff!

That goes for North Dakota too. I remember as a child building snow caves
out of
the huge snow drifts and actually walking up on the frozen drifts to the
tops of houses. I wonder now
how my Dad ever made it to work every day....
To make it dog related, I had a Flat Coated Retriever who used to
trudge along with me sledding.
When we would get home I had to pick the ice chunks out of his coat and
feet. I wouldn't even want
to VISIT North Dakota again..... Jamie

I am born and raised Californian and lived in snow Country in "Sunny"
California In the Tahoe / Donner
area. We had icicles on our eaves 4 ft. long and I threw a ball every
morning for the dogs to break a trail
through the snow to get up to the road so the kids could go through the
trail with 8 ft. high walls of snow
to catch the school bus. We had one dog that spent all winter burying
those long icicles like bones!
The dogs ( GSD ) would play with the kids on the sleds and rode toboggans
with them and would lay
curled up like Huskies out in the snow while the kids played .....and as
it snowed it would literally cover
them up as they waited for the kids to get through playing on the hill
with their sleds.
Our kids wouldn't come in to warm up by the fire until their hair sticking
below their hats was frozen....<G>
California has it's share of freezing snowy winters......just not where
Evan lives.
We left the snow Country in 1971.......can't say I miss it.....but we
still get a little snow here occasionally
in the foothills of the snow Country of California. It's not all beaches
and convertibles as Evan says. <G>
