Not snowed in but the car has been mostly garage here in Colorado, we had about 7 inches of super wet snow, some melting, then another few flurries of that white bull**** falling from the sky the following day. I'm really ready to move to SoCal after college, and when/if I get this E63 I have my eye on I'm sure as hell never taking it out when its snowing.

So lucky... the only thing I can't stand about Florida (climate-wise) is the humidity. Here at 6000 ft, this morning it was below freezing and I had to get up and go to class in the bone chilling cold. It's that type of cold that when it's a bit breezy, if you notice your shoe is untied you pray you trip on it and have a quick, painless death because bending over and tying it isn't an option we have it easy compared to up north though .

This winter has been bruuuuutal. Got nailed with a foot of snow this past Saturday and another 6" expected on Wednesday. In my last ten years here, there has usually been 2-4 snow storms with accumulation in a winter. This year is insane. I find myself shovelling every other day. Last year, we didn't even have snow on the ground until late January!

This winter is horrible. I'm thinking about taking the plates back to the dmv until April. Leave it in the garage and play with my truck

I don't know how you guys deal with that crap. Who the hell wants to wake up earlier than you already have to for work so you can shovel your driveway? All the days where you just don't go to work because the roads are to bad, I mean I don't live pay check to pay check but damn do that a bunch of times and that is hundreds or thousands of dollars you aren't getting from staying at home. Having to put on a bunch of clothes every damn day instead of slipping in to something comfortable. And the other handful of things that suck.

F that, I will go visit for a week to do some snowboarding or something then go back to some nice enjoyable weather.

It is 74 out right now!!!!! Don't get much better than that.

You're nuts lol, I could care less about seeing some red and orange leaves when trees decide to look different. Give me some nice weather almost year round!

I did however spray the E55 with the hose today because it had yellow pollen all over it, I hate that crap when it decides to start flying around from the trees.

Need the seasons for what? Do you have Stockholm Syndrome?

I miss my friends and family back in NY, and that's about it!

Love to visit fla, orlando and keys are great. But could never live there. Aside from jobs and most of the residents iq..
We are jealous of your weather now but come your 100's youre jealous of us, vacation to Carribean several times a year does the trick.
Whats the Stockholm syndrome? I'm Russian and DO need my seasons )) Stockholm getaway vids are nice though.
Not bashing on you guys, you have better roads than us after all.
