You can have all the snow from my town. Please.

If you ask me, it should snow only two days in a year, 24th and 25th of December, then it'd melt away. Can't stand that stuff.

Oh I remember you leave in the north but we do not see snow that much the last 4 years.

j/k

Rain brings the added commodity of water for reservoirs (I presume) and your climate is best known for its warmth.

I like snow, I'd rather drive on snow and ice than in rain. People treat the colder stuff with a bit more respect, they don't think much different between dry and rain so they are more dangerous.

This is, of course, just my opinion and I reserve the right to be wrong.

All the snow that was here in Wisconsin seems to have melted. Very Snow-less winter here.

Why is it the majority of accidents I see during the first signifigant snow event of the year are 4WDs?

Yes, our vehicles do well on snow, sand, mud, etc., but ice doesn't give a rats patoot how many drive wheels you got!
