      That thunder last night was strange. It was like apocoliptic weather patterns. We get 6" of snow, then freezing rain, then driving rain, then a thunderstortm with hail to end the day.

      I believe there is an old saying... "If you don't like the weather in New England, give it a minute".

              I feel your pain... that is why I decided to run away from it! Life is too short to be some place where the weather is usually lousy. Best move I ever made was leaving New england for Sunny SoCal

                it can be fun, esp when you dont gotta work the next day and a friend ask you if you want to go "snowing" (muding in the snow)

                    Snow and ice can be fun, if you don't have to get somewhere on a schedule- I don't mind driving in it, been living here for more than 5 decades, so I know how to handle it- I usually don't even lock the truck into 4WD unless it gets really nasty-

                    It does mean that I don't drive the Camaro, once they start salting- it takes a little break until March or so-

                    When the traction goes away, it makes your vehicle feel like it has 500 RWHP- you can spin the tires anywhere, drive sideways at 20 MPH, do wild donuts and fishtails- lots of fun as long as you don't have to drive in rush hour traffic with all the drivers that don't know how to drive in it-

                      Snow can get old really fast, but I'll take it as it comes along with seasons. I like going through actual seasons like Fall and Spring. I've lived here all my life so it's really no big deal to me anymore. In fact, I even enjoy the snow once in a while.

                        yea but when its a $200K truck that weighs 20 tons, the snow is a PITA, today with the little dusting we got, i had to sand in front of the dumpster a couple times so i could dump it without sliding sideways

                              If we don't do something about this global warming we are going to freeze to death.
