Could not agree more ...If I ever hit the lottery the only cold air I'll feel will be from air conditioning  It could be so much worse ...I could live up north  I was just checking out my map and planning a nice long road trip down in Dixie somewhere for the Christmas break I'm fixin' to start on the 18th.  |

I hate winter too, and you guys probably think I don't know what winter really is.....it all has to do with what you grew up with...today is 74 degrees with 120% humitity...everything is wet and it has not rained...last Friday we had snow  and 1 more shot  it was so exciting...last about 2 hours and then just wet stuff...I know for sure I could never live up north and that is north of I-30...maybe....

Hey Buster, I guess there are more of us Valkers in WV than I thought. I had known about Sgt. Bunny in Kingwood, Hillbilly in Chapmanville, 3Valks in Mason Co., Wolf1910 in Lewisburg, I am sure there are others I am just forgetting. Woud be neat to have a complete list of active VRCC'rs in WV.

""I know for sure I could never live up north and that is north of I-30...maybe...."" I-30????? As a Florida native, I thought "up nawth" was anything above I-10!  Rode home from work this evening in a t-shirt. And I get cold at any temp below 75. It was 83 today.   |

I-10 has always been the divide for us as well..Have always lived south of I-10.. but we are trying to open our scope and broaden our horizons....so we picked I-30... Pretty big leap ..Huh... |

When I was a kid, I loved winter. I was into skiing and actually liked going out driving in the snow. But now, as I have gotten older (I'm 38 now) I hate winter more and more. The cold just gets to me. Why I haven't moved south is beyond me.

1 foot this morning! First storm in a while where i've seen plows in the ditch! They say we're supposed to get some more, and it's gonna blow all day long. I love Minnesota. This means I'm not riding the Valk for Christmas |

Dumbass me. I've put up with northern Indiana weather for 81 years now and never gave it a thought of headin' south.
I'm in winter routine now. Parka jacket, shoe chains in my Toyota Highlander all wheel drive along with a blanket and cell phone, snow blower in the front garage, portable generator in the back shed, etc.
Put into hibernation the Nighthawk and the Miata.
My ham antenna took a permanent lean to the northeast last winter. It might go horizontal with this wind but I don't give a crap, insurance.
C'mon Spring!

I am about 30 mines west of Mikey. Had to blow snow to get out of the driveway this morning. They upped our expected totals to 16" and we have about a foot now, with winds. Blizzard warning here, kinda sad to see the Valk in the back of the garage all covered up with a snowblower next to it (now Valk related).
