Its funny... When we were kids, snow was awesome, couldnt wait to get out and play. We then get that little card we keep in our wallets and instantly hate snow! (Or you go to RIT and have to walk 3/4 mile to class in it with 20+ mph winds every day, that was the straw that broke the camels back for me!)

We may even get rain on Friday with temperatures dipping in the high sixties, hopefully it won't last as the long range forecast shows mid 70's. The heater came on last night, a sign that harsh realities of winter has come, time to break out the long sleeve shirts and long pants.

I actually am looking forward to maybe getting the one day of snow where I'm at. If we are lucky enough. 
I'm in vegas and the past two winters we have had one day of snow each year. Although, I would not be able to imagine having to go through what some others go through with the having to clear out the driveway just to get to work. That's toooooooo much snow. It's currently 51 where I'm at....

Actually, for those not in the know, Vancouver has some of the mildest winters in the Canada. Guess it's all relative. I can't imagine having to tunnel out of my house like some people back east, or being able to skate to work...

I was born and raised in So. Cal., but I've lived in Cleveland and London, and I've travelled extensively. Cali peeps will be wearing jackets and sweaters in the 70's and think the 60's are freezing. At the sight of rain here, most people can't drive. I wonder what most of the Cali peeps would do in a snowstorm. During my first winter in Cleveland, I was like WTF?!?! And didn't know what flurries or freezing rain was. Ahhh... seasons, I wish we had them here.

Don't forget where your car comes from. It's designed for winter driving, and handles it very well!

Salt and the snow on the car won't diminish the paint or the underbody - provided you properly and regularly wax your car (and the underbody is already coated to protect it from salt). Once your car is salt stained - just wash it off! Either a car wash open full season or wait for it to be above 32.
Just drive the car! It's wait you paid for.

We used to own a cabin by Lake Gregory, a little over an hour from our house by the beach and we used to get stuck in the snow at least once a year. You wake up in the morning and the streets and driveway are all white and you forgot to bring chains, try driving in snow in a Toyota MR2.
