Watched that documentary "Happy People: A Year on the Taiga" san and I was amazed at all the mosquitoes in summer time. Like they get a full 6 months of mosquitoes crammed into a few weeks.

Yep. Doesn't help Fall is my favorite time of year too.
I just wish we got cold fronts up here like they do back home. I miss thunderstorms

I'd like to try that, I've had sort of a vampire schedule for most of my time at work, and I kind of like extreme weather

I could live in Alaska and a lot of other northern states like Idaho or Montana. Unfortunately I'd have to get divorced first.

How about the period from December to March when the average high temp is -6 and the average low is -20...
I couldn't live in a place so cold that my balls may freeze.

Thank you. I was trying to remember where I saw it after I read the Siberia comment. Looked like a nightmare.
