Winter just returns so fast!

Makes the ZR1 look slow in comparison.

I love winter here, it's perfect driving weather when it's in the low to mid 60s...fresh brisk air, sun shining. Hope we get more rain than we did last year though, we need it. In fact, hope it pours so I can go out to a nice empty parking lot and and powerslide to my heart's content. Love this car in the rain!

Edit: I think this year I'm gonna get some cones from sport chalet or big 5 and set it up in an empty lot if it rains...practice some wet weather handling drills heheh! Good times...

Says you guys get hardly any snow and what you do get everybody drives like they are driving on pins and needles. I don't even think he has a snow blower because, IIRC, doesn't think it's worth it for the little bit of snow you guys -do- get.

Granted, even here in WI our winters really haven't been that great either. Last year we had a decent amount of snow, but the handful of previous years we didn't have much.

Ok, I guess I won't be whining how windy it is here, and how horrible all the smoke and ashes are from the local fires. (So Cal) Snow looks cool though!
