Yes we do get our fair share of wind and rain, there are definitely warmer and dryer places further south again.
We do get very excited about a bit of snow, We haven't had a good fall for a about 3 years now. My sister gave me a snow shovel for Xmas about 4years ago, I've only used it for snow once since then.

Yeah, to shovel your neighbours snow in front of your door, so you couldn't go to work.

Smut is a type of black sooty fungi, parasitic on plants.
One smut fungus is found in Mexico, the corn smut Ustilago maydis, which grows like black grains on sweetcorn and has been eaten since Aztec times.
Try" The Illustrated Genera of Smut Fungi", by Kalman Vanky for more details.
It's one great book.

That's because you've only just gone to bed by then!
