Re: Pics for those already winterized ....
Last week the NM gov was campaigning for the feds to force the Great Lake states to ship water to the southwestern desert. Normally this would be totally abhorent -- he can enjoy Great Lakes region water all he wants -- just move here.
But I was thinking -- it might be a worthwhile trade for us to share a little water if he could forgo January - February warmth and sunshine and send it our way. Something like for every Jan - Feb day over 80 degrees and 12 hours of bright, cloudless sunshine, we'd be willing to send him x gallons of water. Of course, he'd have to document that it came from him, and that he got the -10 degrees and only 7 hours of daylight we normally get then.
AFTER we moved to Kalamazoo area 14 years ago, we found there is only one town in the US with less average sunshine (i.e. not cloudy days) -- and that's some little town in Alaska. Even Pacific NW gets more sunshine than here.
