Brent,
How can you get homesick for -30 degrees and snow and ice all Winter? I have never wanted to go back there since I lived in up state New York and found out what their Winters can be like. Loved the people and summers, but those Winters are something else. Only worse ones I was in were in Korea. Of course with the weird weather patterns we are having now, you may have snow and ice down there soon.
