That's the beauty of the Midwest region!  You get the all the seasons.  Summer sun and winter snow.  Today we are seeing our share of white stuff but not as bad as in other parts of the country.  I heard that roofs are collapsing in Washington.  Scary!  Well, I guess that's why storage areas are even bigger here than in other places.  People have so much stuff to cover all the seasons.  We have pool supplies and snow toys.  Stacks of sweaters and swimsuits.  Great place to live!
