In Washington people got around pretty good in the snow. My dad got himself a tiny Kia Rio with none of the extras so that he could get around in the snow easier, since the car was light. And he has studded tires, so that helps. But them old people in the south, they does forgit how to drive sometimes. Like those two elderly gentlemen that went through the Farmer's markets a couple years ago going 80mph. That's like 135kph, I think, for the metric users.
I miss the snow. I haven't been snowboarding in 4 years. I was never good, but damnit it was fun. I haven't made an overly large snowman in a long time, either. Or had good sledding in snow I could manipilate to make a cool track for my sled, because here the average winter high temperature fluxuates between 37 and 38 fahrenheit, which is like 4-5 celsius, i think, for you celcius users. So the snow melts within a week. Also bad about the highs being there is that we get a lot of freezing rain. Worse than snow to drive in is ice. And when it's 32 degrees and raining the stuff, it gets crazy.
