I believe we hit an all time record here. 20.4 inches in one dump. Even so I'm glad to be living here. A nice place near great roads & some wonderful tracks.

Nothing against Miami, but no thanks, not my cup O tea.

whats wrong with Miami . The weather is great all year long. Its hot but it doesnt get ridiculously hot like in other places. and theres always things to do here

And good for your mini. you dont have to worry about dents from hale, salt ruining your paint from when there melting snow, hydroplaning and crashing from snow, slipping on ice, etc.

my car is garage kept and when I go to school I always park in garages so the only problem that i could see is the sun fading your paint but thats not too much of a problem for me

oh yea... i always like to c both sides of things lol.. i can say that another bad thing is that theyve been doing alot of construction lately, so if you work (or around the area for a while) you car gets a little dusty. But thats something a car wash can easily fix lol.

If you don't work for the greater Miami tourisim board you should.

Wasn't bashing your fine city, just saying it is not for me. Heck I'm only one person, millions love your city & go there every year. I won't be missed.

Hey, let us know if you are going to be in Dublin next weekend. Part of the Mid-Ohio Motoring Club will be in the Dublin St. Patty's Day parade. IMAGOX is coordinating that event over on the Mid-Ohio Motoring forum. He needs someone to drive his cabrio in the parade.

So is the mayor going to call in the army, just like a few years ago???

Don't think you'll have much luck they are all in Afghanistan.

Remember a record snowfall in Toronto is a light dusting for the rest of Canada
