14. I have lived in a number of

different parts of the country that get a lot of snow, including Minneapolis.

Snow removal, what a novel concept!

Yes, there are other lovely compensations to living here. Despite what the locals seem to think, 40 degrees is not bitter cold. And the sun is almost always shining. I think the official number of days with sunshine seriously underestimates how much we actually get. I don't think there are as many as half a dozen days in any year which are completely overcast.

Oh, oh, what I do like about the snow we get is that it's always quite dry and light, and I just sweep my sidewalk and driveway with a broom as soon as I can. I keep on thinking I ought to buy a shovel, but one neighbor has one that he leaves outside on snow days for me to use if I really need it.
