Sorry for the intrusion...

As any yooper (upper peninsula native) will tell you, Ithaca in is the balmier portion of the state. It's not too often they need more than garden trowels to clear their sidewalks down that way. A few years back the local newspaper posted a picture of a couple real nice snowmen they figured the Maki boys had made. When spring came, it turned out they were snowmobilers from Saginaw.
