You'd have to use a leaf blower to get the snow off the car I think.

A Broom? Nope, the only thing handy was the snow shovel.

You can have four seasons without 2 feet of snow.

I've skied 6 times in the last 7 days within a 15 minute drive (in the Boxster of course ) of my house! And in the summer I have hiking, climbing, motorcycle riding, mountain and road biking, fishing, kayaking, rafting, sailing, and of course great twisty traffic-free Boxster roads within 5 minutes of my front door. And no, it's not -20° F here all winter . So please let us brag about how hardy we think we are when it gets cold without feeling too sorry for us.

P.S. I'd insert a picture of Boxy in my snowy driveway but I didn't take one yet.

Just keep telling yourself that

When I lived in California I could surf in the morning, drive for an hour and a half or so to go skiing that night. Had mountains to go 4wheling in, desert to ride dirt bikes. Could SEE all of the seasons without actually having to live in them.

But I think there is a reason that FLorida has all of those "snow birds". If I never have to shovel a drive, I will be OK

The boyz in the south don't get the privilege to go out "slowly & smoothly" drifting a rwd car on fresh fallen snow mouhahah

I really hope you southern car guys could give this snow & car drifting game a try at least 'once' in your life. Try, you'll see what I mean

80 degrees again today, air conditioning kicked-in at my office. The forecast is 81 tomorrow, 82 on Thursday, and 80 on Friday. I drove home from work with the top down this evening… I will probably have to do it again tomorrow. I sure wish it would snow soon.

I don't envy you that hour and a half drive with 100,000 other people on a crowded freeway! I love living in the 4 seasons. Summers are 85 degrees with really long days. Autumn is cool but beautiful with the trees changing color, and elk, deer and bird hunting seasons. Winter: I love it too. I can keep in shape shoveling snow (when it snows, which certainly isn't every day) and splitting firewood. And of course there are downhill, Randonee (backcountry) and cross country skiing. My gym is outdoors :dance:!! Spring is corn snow skiing and of course the beginning of hiking and climbing season.

Many years ago I moved from Tucson where I was born. Here in Wyoming I can always put on more clothes when it gets cold, but I could only (legally) take off so much in Tucson. Highs over 100 degrees for months; you can have it !!

[particlewave]

^agreed!^

That's exactly what I always say
You can only take off so much before someone calls the police

There's nothing like taking in a big breath of ice cold 25-30 degree air on a brisk winter morning! Love it!

Hey, anyone pining for the snow should come and visit me. We have a prairie blizzard blowing in tonite that is expected to last for two days. Usually when they say blizzard it means the snow is moving horizontally and visibility is down to a few feet. However, because this is Winnipeg (as in, not Toronto), almost no-one will miss work, traffic will move as usual, and we will not require the assistance of the military. And, when it's over, I get to fire up my big-ass snowblower and go play. Woot!

87 degrees today... This is winter?? It's warmer now than what we get in the summertime. Did we go through a polar flip?

Heard a friend yelling out "Drive me...." from my fourth floor apartment window:

[Steve Tinker]

If you guys think its a tough winter in the US / Canada, just think of us poor people in Australia - Adelaide had 46*C (115*F) yesterday and over 50*C (124*F) for us in the centre Queensland a few days ago..... The bird and bat population dropping dead from heat exhaustion, bush fires, etc etc. The hot northerly winds bowing in from the Simpson Desert and Red Centre are the killers.
Too hot even to drive with the hood down.

[SeanZ4]

Yeah Steve I saw that on the news at lunch today. You guys have it hot hot hot!!!

[haz]

That's why I wouldn't live in L.A. again. But up on the Central Coast of California (Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo) you don't have the traffic. Same thing where I am in Florida. I wouldn't live in Orlando, the roads would make me crazy.

I also agree that Autumn is beautiful with the changind colors, and it would be nice to have more of that, but not at the expense of those dang winters.

As for Tucson, or any "desert" place, I also agree. I couldn't deal with months of that heat. It is a dry heat, but still......dayum. The humidy can be a beast in Florida too.

It is a good thing we don't all agree on the best place to live. Can you imagine THAT traffick?!

Nope I wouldn't do anything to the car that the next owner can't reverse. This is the one. The Sports Hex Luggage Rack - Classic Boot Racks
Rubber shoes and four rubbered-"claws" that grip around the lid.

So MLK day was warm enough to wash the salty Boxster. Forecast was for Snow the next day and super cold for the next couple of weeks. So I wasn't driving it soon. Bought a cover and put her in the garage and covered her up until the roads clear
This is by no means a Winter hibernation. First chance I get, the covers off and out the door I go
