NY road salt Reply #15 – November 15, 2007, 11:15:18 AM That's the reason I moved back to Texas, screw the cold and the snow and the salt and the stupid snow plow drivers that knock over your mail box, Oh the X-wife too.

NY road salt Reply #17 – November 15, 2007, 01:45:58 PM Yeah but if it snows where you live you learn to become a drift car driver, know how to drive out of a skid, and you can do doughnuts in a front wheel drive car :hick: Quote Selected

Plus, I live down the street from the hospital, so my street is always clean. Quote Selected
NY road salt Reply #19 – November 15, 2007, 03:57:25 PM I suppose this is the case for more than just myself, but I remember the days when the snow was a lot more fun than it is now. Living in Wyoming, there is always the jokes about walking to school in 5 feet of snow (uphill both ways, of course!), white-out conditions, 40 below zero being a warm day...lol.One of my favorite snow activities when I was a teen was when a bunch of us would get some old hood off a car, attach it with a tow rope to somebody's truck, and take of thru the fields of snow with anywhere from 4-6 of us riding on the upside down hood. Yes...we're all "red" here too...even in the nasty North, lol. A regular sled just wouldn't do, we had to put our own twist on it.Back to the original post, we don't use salt here, thankfully. But we use a lot...and I mean A LOT of sand. Which is good, but has it's bad points too. With how the wind blows here at times, the windshields start looking pretty sandblasted. Quote Selected
NY road salt Reply #20 – November 15, 2007, 06:18:38 PM Quote from: screaming306;187774daminc, what the hell makes you think that is fun ?????? the worst winter we had was some snow flurries that melted as soon as they hit the ground. now that is cold for us.Believe me. after a month of snow, It gets old fast. Esp. when you work outside in it. winter is great if you like the snow. a lot of my friends and family have moved south because of the weather. personally me and my wife like the snow and the seasons. We also have an advantage living here. My wife works from home and i'm self employed. so i don't have to go to work if the weather is bad. We could stay in the house for weeks if we wanted. Christmas would never be right without snow. thats how we were raised. a lot of you never get to experience things like that in life. like when i go to arizona and my shoes stick to the road. What's so great about that. It's too fricken hot (but it's a dry heat I hear).Its all about where your raised. I can deal with snow.I couldn't deal with hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, flooding, droughts.I have to say, that if you don't live in NY than you have more balls than me to deal with that stuff. My biggest worry is where to pile my snow in winter Quote Selected
NY road salt Reply #21 – November 15, 2007, 06:37:48 PM When my buddy from AZ teases me about MN winters, I always tell him, "We have 3 months of the year when it's too cold and you have 8 months of the year when it's too hot, do the math!." Over 80 is bad for me, over 90 is unbearable and a 100, well, that's just crazy. I could never live down south. I spent a summer in Atlanta and I'll take a MN winter over a southern summer ANY time. Like daminc said, it's all what you're used to.... Quote Selected
NY road salt Reply #22 – November 15, 2007, 07:39:06 PM well now there are good and bads to the winter. like all our theme parks down south florida are open year round, our dragstrips are too. as a technician i couldn't handle all the rust on the cars. i did some snooping around , i think most of all the members are northerners !!!!! yet the car condition section is better down here. only surface rust on most of them.
