I used to hate it, until I moved to Texas!
Growing up in VA/MD/PA, we used to get tons of snow and we would be out of school/work for days.
Then "they" became to damned efficient. Last year in PA, we had 3.5 feet of snow with 7 foot drifts. They plowed and the kids only got one day off. The next day they had to walk in the slick streets with the non-drivers to school because the sidwalks weren't plowed. I telecommute and I had to take a vacation day just to shovle the driveway before it froze.
Now I am in Austin, and it is going to be 80 this weekend, and we are going to Coopers BBQ in Llano for some of the biggest chops and T-Bones after a great ride through Hill Country!

And the great news is that it
will get even better when I do it on a new SE! [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]
