Default Anybody else getting fed up with the snow?

Just about melted out yesterday, and now 6 inches or so on the ground, the truck and the car.

Just as well the Miata still has its studded snow tyres on.

It appears in the distance on top of mountains, on a clear day. When it rains or is cloudy, all the snow goes away, I associate snow with nice days.

My Miata, basking in the sunshine and thinking about removing its hard top ready for the summer, sends commiserations to your Miata.

I'm getting fed up with the snow melt, which has got the rivers overflowing onto roads, doubling my commute time by requiring extensive detours.

I hate to think what the situation would be like if the rivers had been at normal volumes prior to the melt, rather than so low that one didn't have to be Moses to walk across them.

Regards, JEff

Took the snows off of my Miata last weekend. Feels great having some decent rubber on it again.

Maybe you should get one of these...

Just posting as part of the BE Miata contingent. Indeed, even the "Miata in the US, MG at home" chapter

Seems like this season is being very stubborn everywhere because the summer here in Australia has been very long and hot. Even now, in what is our version of early November, it's daytime highs of 26 (78 in 'Merican), blue skies, flies, etc. All the usual trappings of summer. It just will not GO AWAY.
