Well,I used to live in Buffalo and Indianapolis.Had enough snow to last me
forever.
(I drove a Civic CVCC,too,with 12" wheels!)

It snowed the day I left Indy,driving a brand new Prelude.
I don't miss snow at all.

I used to send out postcards to my friends,that had a pic on one half of a
guy shovelling snow out of his driveway,and on the other half,a guy in a
lounge chair at a Florida beach,captioned "you/ME." 8-)
