I love it- I'd rather have an insanely dense snowstorm than a sunny day

I'd rather have 2 feet of snow than what we usually get....cold, windy, and dry.

On the other hand, it wouldn't bother me a bit to never go through another fall or winter. However, I can't see myself living anywhere else so I guess I have to put up with it for the rest of my life. Mass amounts of people vs. crappy weather. I'll take the weather.

^that's another reason I love where I live. When It snows, it's not just a little, then blown around... It DROPS. Ever heard of the donner party? the commemerative statue is less than an hour from here and +1500 altitude.

If it was just pretty and I could stay inside and simply appreciate it, I wouldn't mind snow. I just hate when it gets plowed and dirty.

My favorite is the "Mag-chloride" (or "chicken :censored3: ") they put on the roads here. A few of the "ingredients" are (but not limited to) arsenic and lead. It's a wonderful sloppy concoction that the DOT claims is non-corrosive; that's why they cart it around in plastic tanks I guess. It turns your chrome and argent surfaces brown, you can't rinse it off as the goop has to be scrubbed off, and to top it all off, it's a chemical hazard. Don't get me wrong, it's light years better than salt as far as metal corrosion goes, but it's a great skin irritant. I love being on my knees working under a dash with my skin soaking in that stuff as it drips off of a car. It turns my skin red and the incessant itching that ensues is terrific.

I find it funny that nobody has an issue with it when their kids play on the brown snow piles that are like giant arsenic snowcones. It irritates dog paws too, but I guess since it's not harmful to people, then the dog's stomachs will be fine as they lick it off of themselves.

It turns slicker than ice at 15 degrees....and it doesn't go away come springtime. It is slick for MONTHS afterward....even when it's warm, dry and sunny.

AAARRRRGGGGHHH. Now I'm frustrated again because it cuts severely into my motorcycle riding season. Powerslides are fun....but not when you're not expecting it.

If people weren't such idiots behind the wheel, we wouldn't need salt, sand, or any other slickum-deterrent. I prefer icy roads to anything else....it keeps the good drivers separated from the bad ones.....who usually go off the road because they assume that their SUV/Subaru and it's 4 wheel drive will keep them from sliding off the road.

Holy cow! I was born in Grass Valley! Have I already told you that? I believe I mentioned it to Mercedes once upon a time. My Dad was a Mining Engineer with the Empire Star mine network. I can still remember the big stamp mill at the Star. The rolling mills at the Pennsylvania were pretty impressive too, but nothing like the stamp mill and sluice tables at the Star.

I miss my Mom's pasties (Cornish meat pies for those of you who have never had the pleasure). Any "Cousin Jack's" left in that area?
