Here in New Hampshire we get lots of lake effect snow from the Altlantic. I'm ready for it this year. I need to get my G80 moved from my Sonoma and I'm pretty much set.

Here the city won't plow till the snowstorm is over. So it is not uncommon to have several inches of snow on the road.

I CAN'T wait!!!!!!

Where I live they plow about 2 times a year, never during a storm or right after a storm either.

Its a city of 25,000 people so it is definitely large enough to need plowing. They typically don't plow until it has been snowing for a long time, so the ground underneath the snow they plow, is hard packed snow and ice.

I slid through my fair share of stop signs last year. If it ever results in a crash I am taking the fight to the city.

Can't wait for the snow! I love the stuff. I used to ski all the time when I was in high school and college and there was no storm I wouldn't drive through to get to the slopes. Now I just drive through the worst stuff to help others when they don't know how to drive their vehicle in adverse conditions (\/ \/ \/ \/).

Good luck with that...

As much as I hate the cold and working out in it I love playing it it. Had so much fun last year in the blazer in the snow and pulled so many people out of ditches. It was unstoppable besides getting low centered every now and then haha.

well i dont live up north but i do have some fun stories about stupid drivers. we get em in the rain down here some people are so stupid they think tailgating on soaking wet roads is fun (at least til they get behind me that is) some folks around here need driving lessons i lo9ve the rain but i dread driving in it cause 99% of florida drivers have NO CLUE WHATSOEVER as to how to drive in dry conditions let alone in wet ones. however it does get better the further north you go... hmm wonder why that is

Im moving out to Spokane, WA next month and I cant wait for the snow! I could go without the cold but you gotta pay to play. Last year I recall the 6 feet of snow over there and it was awesome in my old Tercel haha not

rep. NH!! small down near the mass line, most the roads are plowed by volinters and they leave atleast 3inchs to avoid making pot holes, drifting is going to be great this season. not unlike last! will have lots of pics this winter from some nice NH country driving.

I have mixed feeling about the snow, sometime it's fun to drive in the snow and others I hate it. Skiing is fun but frost bite isn't. hot coco good, snowballs in the face not so good.


but it does make tracking deer easier

I like snow then I know why it's cold in the winter, but we don't get all that much snow over here in the City, even though everyone things so cause I'm in Switzerland. Last year we got a few nice days with some snow but nothing like I had in the year I was in Illinois which was awesome
