Here in northern Ohio we have set a record with 285 days with no snow. I feel bad for the guys that make a living doing snow removal but I gotta say I don't miss shoveling the Sh$t!

My Camaro is in storage from November till May so I don't have to worry about driving it in the snow anyway.

weather goes in cycles, and the global warming thing is just part of a larger cycle. Anyone that speaks out too mauch against the global warming posture of our government trying to force it down our throats is discounted as a crack pot, or fired by thier liberal loving university.

The snow had started hitting the upper midwest now after the lond dry summer. SO its coming your way, sooner or later the jet stream will change and you will get hammered. Who knows maybe next year you will get really lousy weather and then they will blame the cold on global warming?

Not going to happen, and if a person really studies things the long term has been for lower temps the last twenty years. There are things like the oscillation to factor in and things many people jumping on the global warming band wagon want to ignore as they want to be in the majority. Mean while some where in the EPA (employment prevention act), liberal appointees are busy finding ways to shove corn in your gas tank, and make cars so light and fuel efficient by forcing the CAFE standards on us we all would have to buy junk in the future.

Look at the cost of a volt to make and then sell......cost to build 70K selling price: 40k discounted to lower thirties as GM has to make them due to big brother watching over them. And it is only going to get worse. Thank god you got a camaro now, and these guys who park thier 1ls in the winter make me laugh...ROFL....

I have lived in oregon most my life in heavy rain and snow and driven rear wheel drive and not posi cars in it safely all my life. I did once do a 180 hydroplaning in a 73 chevelle ss, but hey, no damage done to the car....should have just gunned it in the opposite direction now that i think about it..i was doing about 55 and hit some bad ruts full of water on super wide 50's.....ye hah, hang on and hit the brakes.

living in vegas....no snow (or extra tires needed) FTW.

the only downside to this is driving VERY conservatively in cold, rainy weather.

I was thinking the same a week ago and then a storm came thru and dropped 16" of snow on the roads - so i went out for a drive and the Blizzaks worked like having 4 wheel drive, those tires are awesome!

I must be in the extreme minority here, because I love when it snows. Winter is my favorite season, honestly. I can't stand summer/hot weather.

Of course, there's an underlying reason for that, which is I work at a bakery production plant, where we make all kinds of hot dog and hamburger buns all summer long, and it gets over 100 degrees every day in there during the summer. Even on night shift, when I work, since the building is entirely enclosed, it is incredibly hot.

I say, bring on the snow! lol...

It's hard to believe that anyone likes snow and cold weather, but to each his own. Personally I hate winter and cold weather in general. My dad used to say the older you get the closer you want the temperature to your age....wow was that ever a true statement!
