He has a point...I hate the snow. I hate the ice.
And quit rusting out my cars!
I wish they wouldn't salt either. It wrecks cars, and makes a mess. The sand isn't much better, but at least you can wash it off. We don't get a lot of snow here, but since I used to have to drive up to the mountains to teach skiing (and "oh the roads were terrible so I couldn't make it" is no excuse) I've driven in all sorts of conditions. Really, if I had to choose the one thing that makes the most difference, it's appropriate tires. The ones made for ice racing soft rubber without studs, are the best. Unfortunately, they wear out quickly so you can't use them all the time, so for most people they're not an option. But, a good all season will get you lots of places with careful driving, and almost any snow condition, except new snow at 32F/0C that gets compressed so there's a layer of freezing water on it. That's the worst, bar none.
Cats on the M-1 made me snicker and think of one of mine who seems to think it's ok to sleep on the heat vent and hog all the hot air coming thru. Little heat sucker opportunists...:lol:
