    I guess the trade off we have down here is that we might not have temps as low as AB and very little snow…but we do get tornados! We had a pretty bad outbreak last Tuesday, all is well here but lots of damage across the southeastern US.

    We get tornadoes in the summer here, but they are rare compared to your situation.

    Today we had a nasty weather… cold winds and snow. Luckily, it stopped during rush hour. I haven’t heard of any accidents yet, like in Brooklyn where scaffoldings fell on some cars.
