There is a saying in TN that,"Ain't cold enough this winter to kill the bugs," or "This cold winter will kill the bugs." Well, I have been in MN summer and winter. I know it gets real cold and snowy there, way colder than West TN and I have been eaten alive by MN bugs in the summer. This is another one of those things that northern people (called yankees) use to conclude Southerners are just a bit slow.....they are not by a long shot! They just are, ah, different. I'm married to a southern girl and she is a constant source of education! Shovel that snow, Carol! I don't miss that a bit!
