I lost my "taste" for snow when I bought my ETC. For those who never heard the story, I got stuck in CT for 3 days during last years "winter wallop," got kicked out of the hotel I was in because I was 17, couldn't see well enough to get to the Motel 8, and almost literally froze to death. Plus the 2 blowouts and police interferance didn't help the situation.
Yeah, screw snow, I'm glad I live in NM. I can go skiing whenever I want, just drive 35 miles, but I don't have to put up with that crap where I live more than twice a year.
