South Florida is a safe bet to get away from the snow. :jester Only problem is the job market sucks down here.

Come to Tennessee. The only flakes here are driving the cars, not covering them. :lol:

Oklahoma gets some snow but its enough to be annoying.

I'm going back to Florida when I graduate. The job market does suck, but I'll take my chances.

How do you think I feel, I just bought another Vette and a motorcycle recently.

It's very frustrating getting toys for Christmas and having to wait 6 months before you can play with them.

I'm wondering how the job market in Arizona is lookin' right now ;)

I agree! I think TN has got to be the best state to live in, and from what I hear to do business in as well. One day, I will live there. I do not like snow, I'm sick of it already and it has just started, actually there is not much about this state I do like anymore. I think I'm crabby!

Another vote for the hating of winter weather :cuss Aside from the obvious misery associated with cold temps and ugly precipitation, I despise everything else about it, including winter-oriented sports (skiing, snowboarding, etc.) TOO DARNED COLD!! :cry

Yeah, it sucks but there's not much I can do it about it other than move to a warmer climate, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Personally, it makes me appreciate the Vette more when I actually am able to drive it. :) Plus, I save $ by not having it fully insured

My turn. We got 1 & 1/2 feet of snow just last Sunday, and another 4" last night. Winter sucks

Let's see... drive the Vette.... Ski...... drive the Vette..... Ski..... Obvious choice.... drive the Vette.

Kinda glad it snows here, otherwise I'd never get a chance to ski.

Winter does suck...but if and when the roads are clean of salt, it makes for some fun "spirited" driving...cold pavement, cold tire, lots of power=FUN :D

When springtime comes around, we appreciate our corvettes that much more for certain.

I've been sick as can be for the past three days, finally feel better today. I might take my vette for a ride later. The past two days it's rained and melted most of the snow. Roads are clear...yep, time for a ride in the vette :)

Hang in there. :cheers:

:iagree: with GoodbyeGirl! You really appreciate the spring, summer, and fall. You really save money on insurance, and it really keeps miles down, and wear and tear. Trying to make a bad situation sound better I guess! :rolleyes:
