Many thanks to Bob, Dave, Peeter, and Brian for taking the time to comment on Snowstorm, Forest Park, St. Louis. Brian asked: > Living in Montreal, I am quite used to this sort of > thing by now. But Missouri? Is this at all normal? Yes, indeed. The American midwest, in the midst of which lies St. Louis, has an almost absurdly extreme climate. Used to live there. Still return four or five times a year. I could tell a story about a long and unpleasant -15 degree (Fahrenheit) January night when the furnace failed. And I suffered through many, many August days of over 100 degrees, when, as a twenty-something slacker, I couldn't afford air-conditioning.
