Snow Sucks

That's pretty much all I got.

Hope everyone in this area is safe and cars are undamaged! Be careful out there.

I'm so sick of DC people talking about how much they hate snow. It sometimes snows in the winter. Get over it. Move if you hate it that much.
Personally, I love and embrace it. If you're a car person, get covered parking.

I like snow. If its going to be cold, it might as well snow.


All that said, I'm ready for spring.

Mine too. My BMW has had two damaged tires so I had to buy an entire new set of non runflats.

The two fun cars are under cover and wont come out for a long time. Even when they do come out the potholes will be so bad I may just drive them around the neighborhood!

Yeah, I see the love for snow... Tons of potholes, salt, gray dirty mush everywhere, kids can't stay outside for too long, tracking shit in the house, Wearing a coat everywhere, wet shoes, idiot drivers, salt, driving a vert with the top up, salt again, shoveling, salt again... It's great...

Spare me the "everything is pretty and white" crap. It sucks. No bike rides, fire pits, baseball, shorts, picnics, beach trips, dining al fresco, etc.

I like snow on occasions, but nothing too crazy...pretty much why I enjoy living here. Besides, what's more fun than drifting around empty roads on winter tires?

It's not the snow I mind; its the road treatment & the stupid drivers...that said, one of those exists year round in our area

Sorry, I just had to rant.. it's seriously all I've been hearing about at work.

I think the problem is that most people around here don't have winter hobbies like skiing, so they're cooped up inside for 3-4 months.

No worries man. Yeah, it's beat to death right now. Facebook is all pics of snow. Tired of it also.

I'd ski if I didn't hate to be cold. I'll just keep lifting. I can do it year round and fly. Flying is pretty in the winter. The problem is the high winds we have in SWVA during the winter.

I like the idea of snow

but in reality, I'm not a fan. I'm from this area but I'm warm blooded by nature. Plus, the "view" (ladies and their clothing) is much nicer in warmer weather.

If I could move I would, but there is the matter of supporting my family and some other little issues.

Being a car guy I wish we had a longer driving season, hence the dislike of snow and salt on the roads. I have plenty of covered parking, the issue is having cars sitting in garages instead of driving them sucks.
