Much greater chance of sunburn b/c the sun is higher in the sky. High humidity, creating the dog days of August. The Red Sox don't usually break your heart in the winter. Lindsey Vonn won't be in the Summer Olympics. __________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

ski63 Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Oct 19, 2006 Posts: 115 Location:	Posted: Jun 03, 2012 - 1:05 PM GMT It is easier to get warmer than it is get cooler. You can put on another layer in the winter but you can only take off just so much in the summer. Think snow!!!

Aside to MissDaEast: What is "Poutine"? PS: There seem to be plenty of replies to new SJ postings. The problem seems to be a shortage of topics to comment on. __________ Joshua Segal

Bobbutts answered: Quote: You never heard of this? It's French Canadian fries with gravy and cheese curds Nope! Never heard of it! Does it have anything to do with skiing? I rarely eat at ski area cafeterias so I don't know: Is it a popular menu item at ski areas? __________ Joshua Segal

rickbolger Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Mar 14, 2005 Posts: 2299 Location:Great Gorge, NJ	Posted: Jun 04, 2012 - 4:18 PM GMT Yes, very popular at Jay Peak. they might call it "Montreal French Fries" or something like that. I second the beer in the fridge, that's a big problem for me in the summer.

obienick Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Oct 21, 2005 Posts: 1168 Location:	Posted: Jun 04, 2012 - 4:22 PM GMT How about that it's just hot. In the winter you can always throw on another layer, but you can only strip off so much before you start breaking laws.
