Dump the blingin dubs for some winter rubber and or learn to drive/deal with more than a dusting

Anton who drove up his mountain in a snow storm (more than 6 inches) on bald R comps last year after returning from VIR. What a sh1tty welcome home that was in retrospect. Many times I wish I lived in warmer climates. But even VIR was colder than a witches tit this time last year.

Come here. We haven't had snow cover on the ground for about a month.

I should be so lucky. It started as rain in buckets Friday night this last week at 50 degrees, then changed to sleet Saturday night while my party was going on at work then to all snow by midnight and gusty winds up to 50 mph. Average temps were in the 20's with windchill in the single digits. Everything got crusted with ice then a few inches of snow on top just to make it fun.

Sometimes I'm glad I drive a dumbestic tank but usually only for the foul weather.

It has been an unusually light winter though. Only 2 to 3 storms if you can consider them storms, more of a nuisance really. No 1 to 2 foot storms. Just the 3 to 5 inchers and ice and crap.

Try some hoosier slicks it might help in the snow! I wish we had snow down south.

You might think you want snow, but you really don't.

Hell, they would just shut the South down in that case.
