![]() The worst thing about winter on the coast is the snow. It's not dry like your flatland snow. Wet and slippery: Add to that, few cars have snow tires because we seldom get snow.

![]() LOL, nah I never do snow tires, we only get snow a couple times a year and they're a pain in the arse to store for the rest of the year. Besides, I always make my husband drive in the snow, he's from Alberta and better equipped for it.

I know! My wife had to have a vehicle with AWD. I said: "What for? She said: "For the snow." Last year I think we had 4 days of snow. Mind you, I certainly liked the AWD this morning on the way to work. Roads are a mess.

![]() Yup, you really feel the cold when you have to work outside 9 hours a day in this weather. Thank God for coveralls and boots!

![]() I remembered this morning that clutches feel funny at -30.
Stay warm folks, especially you Dez and anyone else who has to work outside in this. When I built my house I "subcontracted" myself to do the network and speaker roughins. It was -20 when I was given the window of opportunity to go in. At that temperature, cat5 cable is about as pliable as steel rebar. Man what a miserable experience that was. String a room, go into the car and warm up, go string another room and back into the car, and so on. I ended up saying "forget it" to the speaker wires in the living room which I sorta regret NOW but, oh well c'est la vie.
