David,

Your problem is that you were raised in LA. Had you been a native
Ohioan, these winters would be a nice cool break from the hot summers.
For me, I'll take the tornadoes once every 30 years (at least in my part
of northeast Ohio), over Earthquakes. Also, I always say, it's a lot
easier to be warm when its cold than to be cool when it's hot. You can
always put on a jacket or blanket, but how much can you take off?
