How do ya'll Yankees do it

It has snowed 3 times this season and I can't take it anymore. I'm so sick of being homebound that I'm going crazy. Heck, even my kids are tired of it.

I'm ready for global warming to kick in and get my 40* winters back.

Even if you think you are ready for it, it still wears you down. Think warm thoughts.

Honestly really doesn't bother me personally, I'm young though. When it get below -25 and the wind blows is when I think it is bad. Otherwise I like plowing snow, have awd car and 4x4 truck so getting around really is not an issue. I really like winter sport out side(ice fishing, snowmobiling)

I don't see how you can stand the heat and humidity.

x2.

I'd go bananas if their wasn't any snow on the ground during winter. No ice fishing, can't ride my sleds, can't throw a snowball at anybody, nothing to keep your beer cold outside the shop. This could be a long list but you get the idea.

Let It Snow

I used to be like you, then I got my own plow trucks. After awhile you begin to realize that what you make plowing you end up spending at some point in repairs and maintenance. And when your plow route makes you $1000 per storm and you blow a tranny for $1500, it REALLY drives the point home. Aas for the 4WD cars and trucks, it ain't ME getting around that worries me. It's all the idiots that don't know how to drive in the stuff, and don't care, that makes it a real chore for me to get on the roads when there's ANY form of precipitation on the pavement.

I don't like winter. Hamilton is right, except for the spelling of yall, there is no apostrophe. It's a straight word - yall.

After living in the north for three years, snow on the ground 6mths a year got old. Sure, we had our fun in the other 6mths and managed to live the snowy 6, but I'd rather be on a different living cycle.

Bring on 100*, yall


Edit: Sports model??

Well here in Texas, we're not used to the snow either. So I put in a nice deck, put a top on it and got some vine stuff to grow over it, and then stuck a 10 person hot tub in the middle of it. So now when it snows, I run outside real fast, pop open a Land Shark, then hop in and watch the boys throw snowballs at each other.
