hi davidstcldfl, yes winter in the snowbelt are great 20" to 60" plus of snow in a day and a half is something to look forward to. it was between 0 and 10 degrees for over a week this past winter. and rain at 30 degrees o'boy nice and slick, if you dont like the weather in northeastern ohio, just wait 5 minutes it will be different but i woulndn't leave it for nothing. there calling for 95 degrees today. but south carolina is very nice. anyhow have a nice day.
