Fall! Cold ice snow! Ahhhhh!!!

[Timothyd]

I don't mind driving in it, even with FWD my snow tires (I have extra rims and swap them out in December) do great. Otherwise, winter and snow stinks, don't like the shoveling and the cold. Thinking of moving to Missouri.

I grew up in Minnesota. I took my drivers training class driving in 14 inches of snow. I love driving in the snow.

Hmmm, I think I enjoyed at one time but as time went on, I decided to leave the north before the white stuff flies every year. For a good many years I commuted to work (which was in ski country) 8 miles with a 2 mile up and 2 mile down mountain. I have to say I never enjoyed the down part.

I’ve owned a couple VW bugs in the day and they were great in the snow (other than the narrow tires following ruts in the snow). We cut a piece of sheet metal for my brothers ‘69, and presto!…it had a floor under the pedals.

I remember those days. I had 67 Triumph GT6 (couldn't afford a winter beater). It was so bad I honestly had an old lady in a VW bug pass me one time.

I had a Spitfire. My motorcycle has 3 times the horsepower.

Why is that doors open to the inside?

Shoveling tunnels is a common practice in the UP. It's not my cup of tea. Still they do it every year, and think nothing of it.

Once I got 26" of snow overnight.
I had a Corgi.
I also had a doggie door with a flap.

See where I'm going with this???

Poor dog almost knocked himself out cold first thing in the morning.
He definitely saw stars.

Winter's coming. I have a trip to Florida in a week or two, probably will rack up around 2500-3000 miles total. After which I will be upgrading my tires with winter in mind. Leaning towards the Bridgestone Ultraweather.

Good tires/solid choice.

Winter for me in the desert southwest means turning of my AC for 4 months. Mpg’s creep up. Did not even use my heat last winter. Should probably turn it on to remove the cobwebs

Learned to drive in the Midwest. Still have an occasional nightmare about driving in snowy conditions. Yes I’m a weak tit!
