It does however remind me of my inlaws' house in Canada on the south shore of Lake St. Clair where we can certainly walk on the ice (or snowmobile or whatever). I wish everyone who is in the "snow" belt a warm and safe (cheap gas) winter.
I'm all for cheap gas, but for those in the frigid north, I just hope that there is enough affordable heating fuel, so that no one freezes to death because they don't have the money to pay for heat. If heating oil stays as high as presently, the fatalities caused by Katrina and her brother and sister storms may well extend way north of the gulf and way beyond September and October.
