We all get our fair share of crud weather. 
But I can say the older I get the less I enjoy northern winters.

My younger son who just returned from Vanderbilt for Thanksgiving received a cell phone pic from one of his roommates during his drive back to OH. It was a shot of the Corvette Museum, in the sun, which makes our weather seem even worse...He has sent similar pics before just to rub it in.

For us, the solution is A/S Michelins and keep driving until the first snow. Then we park it for about 2 months and drive it down to Florida in mid-January. The car only gets one dose of salt on the way down, and we wash thoroughly then drive through a couple of rain storms to eliminate any remaining salt. By the time we come back in mid-April, winter and salt are gone.
Retirement does have some advantages.

Yall need to move south. We get on avg 2.5 in of snow per year. Had a real blizzard last year with 12 in at one time. But it was gone in a week.
Usually just 4 or 5 days a yr the vette stays in the garage.
