I'm from NY but unfortunately I'm stationed in Ft. Hood right now. My family has been sending me pictures of every single storm that has come through and its been getting worse. I can't believe how much snow the East is getting this year. It's been awhile since we had a rough winter.


^^^ RX8YA .. you're from Rockland County? I'm from RC also, Sloastburg to be exact. I went to Suffern High school

That's true, much of the effects on metal depends on where you live, but much of snow/rain does contain some calcium and acidic properties. So even if the car does not drive on the streets, metal will still degrade over time.

you, sir are cruel.



I feel you on the snow this year. my back is so far gone. I wish I would have read farmers almanac and invested in a used bobcat. it would have paid for itself by december 20.

...btw, it calls for another big storm in march :-/

I'm hoping Tilly can be magically transformed to 28,000 servings of broiled killer whale with a little brown butter and roasted garlic.

I found it to be quite cohesive to the flow of the conversation. And look, it brought us some stupid, but funny, little jokes.

Water never hurt a car, 'cept rust of course. But I'm more concerned with the ludicrous volume of sand and salt they lay on our roads.

This has been a tough winter in that the storms have been spread out just enough that there has only been one weekend day with snow/sand/salt clear roadways here.

But I only have one more month to wait....

No, we park outside because we don't have garages. It is actually harder to dig out around the car then clean the car off then dig out the snow you just cleaned off of it again when it hits the ground. I don't dig out my car. I drive my truck
