It’d regularly be 130 in Iraq while deployed. That, coupled with having to wear body armor and flight helmets, it sucked rather hard. ---

Don’t be looking at me, I don’t live in Minneapolis or Toronto. I got you beat with snow. Our average is around 150 inches, but some years we get as much as 250-300 inches. Go a little farther north and the average is more like 200 inches. We get Lake Effect AND just normal snow. ---
