What is this "Snow" of which you speak? 😛
Happily, NO, I do not have to drive in snow. The way these Californians drive on dry roads...if it snowed here, I wouldn't leave the house. (fuck...they can't drive on rain-slicked roads, snow would be a comedy of errors in epic proportions!)
I'll bet Oldsmoboat has some GREAT stories from his years plowing the highways in the Sierra.
