The worst is the constant darkness. We're down to less than 9 hours of daylight each day, and still over a month to go to the shortest day. I leave for work in the dark, I get home in the dark. The only daylight I'll see for the next 4 months is through my office window.

Then what you need is the daily work schedule of the mayor of Toronto. In at 11 am, out by 3 pm.

Yes this never ending circus is entertaining but I think the time has come for Rob Ford to meet Betty Ford...:ah:

Look at the bright side - at least now we're laughing at Toronto because of Rob and not because they need to call in the army to save them whenever they get more than 4" of snow. :D

Oh come on your missing out on snow drifting. Though the salt will eat any and all of your rubbers and bushings. Still awesome experience.

DieSiebener 11-15-2013 04:18 PM
Thats all!? We had more snow than that in Iowa on Monday! But it is gone now :)

Agreed, the snow drifting is nice.

Especially when you have the snowplow drifts to keep your ass end on the road!

Shovelling
Slush
Dirty snow
Yellow snow
Frozen locks
Frozen gas line
Frozen water pipes
Square tires
Salted roads
Nighttime at 4:30
And power outages ...

Scraping windshields
Frozen leather seats
Snowplow drifts you have to get through (or over)
Blown windshield wiper fuses :o
Wheel wells made of ice
Dead batteries

Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there again!

Well we are expecting 4-6 inches of snow. A/S tires got me to the car wash and back no problem two blocks away but I think that I will have to put the Blizzak snow tires on in the next couple of days......:eek:

And yeah watch out Winnipeg as you may get our snow. Winter is here too bad.

This is a sad thread indeed. Shameless plug: sunny and 75 here in California I'll continue driving top down all winter. Send cold weather! My seat heaters need more use.

And when we went down to Palm Springs last winter for a week we ended up renting an Altima. Ouch...
