How can your paint fade with only 2 weeks of sunshine the whole year in Minnisota?
A buddy of mine from Minnisota once told me that winters in Minnisota were 10 months long . . . and then there was 2 months worth of tough sledding.

Hi,
Your friend was correct, then along came global warming and that screwed us all up for the past 6 or 7 winters. Not nearly so severe as it used to be and for the most part, all the major storms of the past few winters have dropped snow all around us - seriously socked Ontario, Dakotas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, while we stayed Sunny and Dry. Avg. snowfall is off by nearly 2/3 of what it was 10-15 years ago. Snowmobile, Snow Blower, and Winter Tire retailers have been starving here the past few years.
The downside is that Spring and Fall seem to be lengthened and Summer shortened considerably. In 2006, we only had 10 days of 90° or higher temps from April through Sept. when the average used to be more like 45-50 days for that timespan. It's getting weird, people are afraid to put away their short sleeved shirts and Bermudas...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
