One December morning I made my way out - snow blowing and already a foot of snow on the ground. I'm driving along nice and careful-like, when a snowplow comes SPEEDING along and completely covers my car with snow! It took several turns of ... emy windshield wipers before I could see ANYTHING. I really thought I was gonna end in a ditch that time. (I thought snowplows were there to make driving SAFER???) For all my efforts, by the time I got to Worcester, there was, like, only an inch of snow; it was a coastal storm! Ahh, the vaguaries of New England winters!

The storms there, either rain or snow, are sometimes just unbelievable. It's kind of funny though to watch people go about their business in that weather back there, but out here in L.A., if it drizzles, people will stay home and refuse to drive, lol.<br /><br />I was in the midwest a couple of years ago and the temperature went from 75 degrees one day down to 35 degrees the next...a 40 degree drop in ONE DAY!

Major suckage. I spent hours driving from Peoria to Champaign, Illinois with an ice-encrusted windshield and my head out the window, Valentine’s Day 1980. Major suckage.
