ugh man that's so lame. That's what I hate about living where it snows @.@

Dude...that stinks. I'm gettin stationed in Ft Drum. I currently live in Alabama and am moving to ar area north of Syracuse. Man, Im not happy about that...too much lake effect snow...any tips for me?

[Iron-Mouse]

Dude..you need a garage. Your poor E36 will freeze to death. I'm getting the hell out of Michigan and moving to NC in May.

[mflint1513]

I'll have a garage, just won't have a snowblower just yet! The area I will be moving to gets about 4 feet of snow a year. Just a few miles south gets 11 feet each year! That's not stretching the truth, either. National Weather Service figures are trippn me out, man!

And i thought it was cold in the UK!!!

Are snow chains any help when there is that much depth of snow? I'm sure you know that there is also the trick of putting 100 weight on the rear axle as well! :D

I like the icicles on your wheel arches! Cool look

Move to 'The English Riviera', Devon UK. Where Pirate and I live is the warmest place in the UK. We even have palm trees growing everywhere. Granted, the local Government/Authorities cover them with blankets in the winter:rofl:

I cannot remember the last time we had snow. Oh yes, I remember now, it snowed overnight and there was at least 2" of snow so the whole of our County stayed at home in bed!!!!

Northern England and Scotland get bad snow but down here we are so lucky. If there was any threat of snow I would cover my car with blankets, duvets, electric blankets, hot water bottles and waterproof covers. :D

I could of course throw hubby's 1967 S Type Jaguar out in the cold and put my baby in the garage but I think this could end up in divorce!!!!

everywhere else just stays freaking hot

[DominguesE30]

doesnt snow here :D....EVER

[Bimmer_Angel]

After saying it never snows in The English Riviera - it snowed today. I ran into the office to grab my phone to take a photo but by the time I got outside it had melted - Doh!!!!

The weather here is Schizophrenic - last week and even up to yesterday I was cruising with the hood down and wind deflector up [gosh that thing is good - it does exactly what it says on the packet!!!].

Well that's our winter over.......

[DominguesE30]

[Ronnaferd]

Gotta love the sunny west coast :thumbup: that looks like no fun at all!

[DominguesE30]
