Well like I said I'm KIND OF looking forward too it. It's not so fun when it dips below -20 celcius. No idea what that is in fahrenheit. .. And having winter 6 months of the year.. You guys in the sunny warm states can trade places with me. Especially if you're on the water.

Well with triple digit heat and 50to 60 percent humidity around here for the next month or so i could go for some snow. We dont get much around here so you guys may need to export some to AZ for me. To play in the snow we have to travel up to northern AZ to play
Think cool icy thoughts!

We get 180" annually average. starts in October ends late April early may. they only plow once or twice a storm so if your not careful u can get caught it 6" or more. at least it's usually powder and not the wet sticky crap that is super slick. I cant wait. I live for winter! been snowboarding since 4th grade.

The thin tires are more desirable in the snow to a certain depth.

Sounds fun. My ARB is a BLAST in the snow.

Watch the language.

I really love my wood burning stove. A bit more work, but I have never paid more than 90 bucks for a utes bill even in -20* temps.
