  Eeeee, us Northeners like our Pigeon lofts, our fish and Chips and our flat Caps, our ferrets and our great sense of community, bugger all brain cells, but a great sense of community.

  Oops, I see this is a very parochial thread that only includes folks from northern USA.

  Any roadup, I'll just 'ave to tellee a grat Northern chat up line :

  "Eee, Tha' don't sweat much for a fat lass !" Works every time, as long as you buy them a deep fried Mars bar and chips.

  Love

  The sound of the winter wind blowing and howling while you sit toasty inside.

  The sparkle of a thousand diamonds on an encrusted snow in the moonlight.

  The "squeak" of the dry snow under your shoes.(Finally heard it this winter once here in the south, it's been 5 years since I hear it!)

  The feel of a brisk cool air in your lungs. Hard to get that sometimes in the south with the humidity in the air.

  The grass! Yes the beautiful, green, sweet smelling grass. Perfect for picnics and rolling down hills.

  Boating on the lakes in Michigan, seeing the Mackinaw Bridge and the thrill of driving over. Having a pastie in the U.P. and heading over to Mackinaw Island!

  The birch trees white bark. The pines covered in snow.

  The majestic deer...they are different than the ones where we live in the south.

  No threat of snakes, sharks or alligators in the water! (Except for one alligator that someone released in the summer into a sporting lake!)

  Koegel's hotdogs.

  The hard work ethic.

  The school system!

  kitten, poutine is a Canadian thing - best in Quebec...I have yet to find a really good one here in the west.

  mulled wine after anything or during anything

  Thank you Poopsiecakes!

  Oh I forgot...sitting outside in a hot tub, with your face and nose tingling from the mist and cold while snowflakes fall on your eyelashes at night! Then the exhilaration of running barefoot back across the snow to get back in the house!
