And New York is something different altogether too! I always said in most places I've lived - FL, SC and Utah - the weathermen got it somewhat right. In Kansas, just forget it. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, sometimes they are 10+ degrees off or more. And sometimes they don't see it coming at all.

What worries me the most is when my son is at school or something, away from me. Yes, in Florida whole years would pass by without you knowing because the weather was the same!
