Well I'm glad someone shares my enthusiasm for snow.

Cons:
-Have to Command start
-Loss of mileage (BIG time)
-Steering wheel is cold
-Have to drive slow
-Chances of getting hit goes up like 250%
-Ice
-Have to shovel
-Have to plug the block heater in

Pros:
-Hockey? (Still have it in Florida where it is nice and warm)

I'm glad I'm not alone either! I was starting to think I was the only one that hated winter seeing all these people excited for snow..

And we're supposed to be getting another nasty one tonight. 100km/h + winds and freezing rain/snow. Should be a fun one tomorrow...especially since I would at a communication company. Ice and wind don't tend to mix with our lines.
