Nebraska. fainting hot in the summer, below freezing in the winter, and completely unpredictable in the spring and fall.

> I'm fascinated by other places & seeing I can't visit them, read a lot about different lands & cultures instead. I'm always checking what the weather is like in other places on the net or weather channel. I'm an information junkie. Whenever I meet someone from a different country, I inudate them with questions about it.

> Here in the very south-west corner of Canada, it's quite mild, not like most places in my country. It's even been called Canada's banana belt & people honestly grow bananas here outside, year round. I think they're just ornamental bananas - don't know if anyone gets fruit from them. They're used as striking focal points in a garden.

> We've been having cold weather for the past couple of weeks. Twice I had to take frost off my windshield & once we got about 1/2" of snow. Gone the next day. I like my snow on mountain tops where it looks pretty.

> We have flowers blooming all year long here - ones like pansy, asters, some bellflowers, etc. And then in February, the daffodils, hellebores, crocus, & snowdrops all start blooming. I really love it here, just don't care for the cloudy, wet winters.
