> \*\*er, where have you been? As **St. Urho** pointed out, the Marquette area got 301 inches last year. The same link states that we’ve exceeded 250 inches in 4 of the past 7 years. I don’t know what you’re comparing things to, but to me, 250+ inches counts as a really good winter. Beat that, trolls!

Alas, '97 was the last good winter in Kalamazoo. The last few years have been gray and rainy down here amongst the trolls. Sure, last year was impressive, but it was a bit localized.

Heh. Cudighi, the finest in Italo-Fin cuisine…
