Help. I'm a conservative caught in the most liberal State in the Union. I gladly surrender to my surroundings (and the occasional earthquake/fire) without having to deal with snow, sleet, tornados (you get the idea). I believe there are only 2 states (CA and Hawaii) where you can do a Quadrathalon (running 26 miles, skiing the downhill, riding bike for 50 miles, and swimming 2 miles in the Ocean). For those of you in deep white or cold, eat your hearts out~~: Think I'll take a dip in the pool.
