I think there is a minimum age requirement for some parts of 65. And they have sand fleas and no-seeums. No-seeums are invisible flying teeth. And don't do Jacksonville, because it's really Southern Georgia, and it snows.
Almost like clockwork, each Winter, some poor bastard with a snow shovel collection comes on line extolling the virtues of mud, freezing, wood cutting, cracked windshields, and weather that is best observed from outer space while flying over the poles.
I only say this crap so this Summer when I am running my AC full blast, and it's so hot that even sitting in the pool, my sun glasses are nearly melting against my face, (I unstick them and dip them in the pool, then put them back on over the burn mark) I'll remember not to bitch about where I chose to live. (wink)
I do like 365 days of "riding weather" however, even though I mostly just drink adult beverages and dream about snow.

now for you guys that are getting 2+ft of snow. are you going out couple times and blowing the snow.
or are you going to wait until it's all done and then complain that your snowblower can't handle 2+ft of snow....:laugh:
goodluck with that........

A chum of mine in Georgia sent me an email.
He is staying in with the wife and not doing much.
Outside he saw a few people driving around when the weather is bad no matter what they are told.
Here is the important part....
He says the people you see driving in bad weather are the over confident types, often relocated northerners who think they can handle the weather.
I am one of those, last night on the way home from the liquor store I slid a little in some ice driving out of the lot to make an illegal left turn up a hill.
Of course I slid ha ha.
Stupid of me I know better and the roads were not bad at all just slick from melting snow and ice ( we got no real snow BTW just a dusting not worth even doing anything about ).
Maybe if you have studded winter tyres and good reason to go out in bad weather then fine.
If your smart you wait until the roads are clear.
I often ignore both of these because I get over confident and can drive in all conditions( and I am cheap, buy the wife studded tyres but I drive on all season in an 11 year old car further hobbled by a bad turbo ).
Yes My chum for Georgia is absolutely right.
Smart people stay in and if they have to go out in bad weather they plan well ahead for it and prepare for it.
Next year will be different I will buy a set of good snow tyre and studs.
I say that every year since 07 too when my last set of snows wore out.
And how often do you leave before the widows are defrosted and clear of drive with a low tank of washer flluid?
Yes be safe and don't get over confident.
Don't over do it too lots of people have heart attacks trying to move too much snow by hand.
Have a safe weekend.
