I'll trade your snow for all the rain we've had including all this weekend.
Vettes with soft tops dont like rain. Snow would be fun!

And people think I live in the great white north. My snow blower is gathering dust, the snowmobile trails are closed and everything is turning to mud.
Oh well I will have to park the dog team for another year.
Starting Monday I am starting to pull all the snow shoes off the horses.

What's crazy is that here in Missouri, we had next to nothing for snow this year while Arkansas got pummeled a couple of times! Needless to say, i'm not arguing one bit!

I actually like the snow. The down time for the vet, the rest from yard work. The cold doesn't bother me. Great for sleeping nights.
No I couldn't take warm nice weather all the time. I like the rain, it keeps my grass green.
I drive a really good 4 x 4 and if I get to really use it once a year as a 4x4 I am lucky.
Send all snow my way.

I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. Now I live in East Central PA. Been here about 2 years. We have had about 40+ inches of snow this year. Still some snow on the ground now. I don't really mind it for a few months, but by March I'm ready to work in the yard, jog outside and drive the vette.
