Nor in the world according to me either. Here in Virginia, a deep
snow is so rare, we just take a few days off until it melts. No
worries.

Here in Michigan, we get a bunch of snow all winter long. I can't
always wait for the snowplows and salt trucks to come by before I
leave for work.

I was being facetious, of course. I'm sure Gary knew that.

Where I lived most of my adult life (west TN) it didn't snow every year
but there were often sleet and ice storms. There were no salt trucks.
No plows because it was, after all, the mid south. Ice storms can be
very nasty. Driving on ice is no fun. Been there, done than for many
years.

Yes, you NEED to be able to get your car out of the driveway when it
snows. It doesn't snow where Gary lives very often. It shocked the
hell out of me when it snowed a few inches here in South Carolina in
January. (That was actually fun.)

It doesn't negate the fact that you mainly need a car you can get out of
the driveway when it snows. You live where it snows often. It's not
the frivolous thing Kuthe makes it out to be. Sure sounds like a
necessity rather than a luxury.

Oh, and I don't care if he buys a Tesla or a Leaf. Or anything else.
