Joe,
With all of the strange weather patterns the last couple of years, you may have to get used to snow there. On the other hand it looks as if we are going to have to live with no rain or snow. I believe we have had about 2" of snow so far and just over 7" of rain. That is drought conditions here. There is snow on all of the hills around me but it is just a few inches deep.
You do get New Years off don't you?
