The way this year is flying by I expect to see snow in a month or so!
So why don't we get the white stuff in the summer to cool us down and the hot sun in the winter to balance it out?

I remember going to Florida in the late 60's over Easter. We left WV in winter clothes (thank God) and for 2 weeks around Clearwater everyone about froze. It was about as bad as being in Lake Erie in winter. No one had any real heat in there houses back then and you could not buy heavy coats there.
In about 2005 while visiting family at Vero Beach it showed. I will admit it didn't do anything but make the road wet, But snow just he same.
