Less snow,
I escaped Florida, way too muggy.

I love snow.

Just this week I was driving down the state road when a monster plow truck approached, its massive plow slightly over the double yellow line. Of course I slowed down and steered onto the shoulder of the road. Nevertheless, alarms went off and the instrument panel lit up bright red with the message "Collision alert! OMG we're all going to die!" or words to that effect.

I love snow. Good snow tires make all the difference.

I would rather have snow then freezing rain and ice. Like was posted, you could make it easier by using the garage. Another option to make it easier when out and about is a hard tonneau cover, no more shoveling snow out of the bed. It also allows using the bed during winter months, maybe a shovel and some cat litter for emergency use.

Anyway snow is definitely more work and slowing down increases travel time, still it beats ice, hands down. It comes with the territory especially if you enjoy 4 seasons. Drive carefully and safely and watch out for the other guy, I'm sure he is not looking out for you.

PS Merry Christmas, and enjoy the season.

I don't mind the snow but I hate cleaning the driveway...
lol... same. That's why all my DD's are AWD/4WD. Whatever Mother Nature puts down, she can also clean up. I have no problem driving through it while I wait.... 🤠

Yeah but the heated seats and steering wheel make all the difference in the world.
