Vee, I wish I could help you however, I live to far away in Texas. We have had a few days in the mid 20's but most of the time it is about 60. I remember my childhood in Chicago and there is no way I would return there to live. My older brother, Jim lives there and calls me on the weekend so that we can keep in touch. He tells me what the weather is like and I am glad I live in Texas. Maybe you should purchase an RV and become what we call "Snowbirds". They come down to the valley in Texas and to Florida to spend the winters then return up north during the summer. There have been time here in central Texas that we have had snow for weeks along with ice and the people here do not know how to drive under such conditions. Makes a mess of everthing. Charles
