[AT] Winter storm and cold

[Mike]

Funny, I think that pendulum swings both ways Dean. A few years ago 
after my wife completed her medical training she was offered a job in 
Slidell, LA. (note we're from Michigan) The Dr that was hiring her was 
right up front with her and said," I'm not going to lie, the first 
summer is going to be rough". He said the humidity and heat was going to 
be unbearable, but after a few years we would be used to it. She didn't 
end up taking the job, and thankfully so, they've been hit by 2 
hurricanes since then.
