I would absolutely agree with all that. It is cold, and the damn skeeters. However, I would rather deal with them then the damn spiders and snaked in the south. I lived in NC for a year, finding brown recluse spiders, black widows in the doorway, and water moccasins slithering across the FBO ramp was too much for me. BTW, coldest I ever say in ND was -42 straight temp, with -80 wind chill...
