And my local paper is a Dem rag, the Plain Dealer, I read the Sunday edition every week.

But OK, I'll sign up for MoveOn updates :D

Cleveland?

Maybe in the lower 48? What about Anchorage or Juneau? Heck, they go for months completely in the dark.

And even in the lower 48, I would think Duluth, Minnesota would have Cleveland beat. I recall our family going to visit relatives there back in the early '70s. There was nearly a foot of snow on the ground. In May.

"In compiling our list, we measured weather patterns in the country's fifty largest cities, or Incorporated Places and Minor Civil Divisions as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. This data was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and tracks average annual temperature, total precipitation in inches and total snowfall in inches. The temperature and precipitation data was calculated over a 30-year period from 1971 to 2000--NOAA's most recent figures because of its decadal calculation schedule--and the snowfall levels included up to 2008."
