I will never understand all the fascination with snow. Snow is completely overrated....

Warm all winter as far as I'm concerned, I despise the cold.

My father was a farmer and said that they had less bug problems after a hard winter...

Google it like I did. Fair amount of scientific data out there......

"Sorry, not much truth to that. Yes, extreme, and I mean way more extreme than we evert get, for extended periods of time can kill some insects. Most burrow into safe spots....and the eggs arent affected. Insects are cold blooded. Ever seen the mosquitos in Alaska? They are huge......"

well we certainly had more big black roaches (ugh) this year after last years mild winter......and Alaskan Mosquitos are evolved for Alaska so survive there OK......but exotic bugs that cannot cope with the cold survive mild winters but not the harder ones.

want some cold weather!! If not, we will pay the price with many more bugs next spring. Poor animals, they depend on the cold to kill fleas!!

If I wanted damp wet foggy warm weather I'd move to Florida for that.I welcome cold weather which in return brings dryer safer air instead of just enough water on the oil slick roads to make them dangerous along with reduced visibility to see what's ahead.
