Why the aversion to snow?
When I moved to Texas I had had 40 New England winters and didn't want a 41st.
I could deal with the cold, it's the snow that drove me away.
It's pretty when it's coming down, but it's a pain in the ass in every other way. Especially when commuting during the winter. And then dealing with ice dams on the roof. And basements that flood during the meltdown. And muddy slush all spring. And 2-foot snowstorms in April just when you think spring has sprung. And limbs of trees coming down from the weight. And power outages from lines collapsing under the snow.
And yes, I was there for 78 and I actually had to tunnel to find my car under the drift it ended up under.
More power to those who like the snow, but I had my fill and will never willingly deal with it again.
Nobody wants to see this dude with no shirt. You could use my skin to send distress signals if lost in the woods. The only thing even slightly tanned is the arms and face.
LOL. I hear ya. I'm of French-Canadian heritage -- I give a whole new meaning to the term "white".
