As much as i love winter and the plethora of outdoor activities it brings, come February its gotten old.
That being said my friends and i have started trailoring our bikes down to north carolina (~12hr drive) and then enjoy driving  around south. In a couple of weeks we're gonna drive from Raleigh  down to the florida keys, can't wait.

We are going to have a lot of road  problems this spring when the 6+ feet of frost comes out of the ground. The roads are going to break up hard. 
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!

I do agree that snow makes for a beautiful vista [thumbsup].  It snowed here once.

I can imagine how it would get pretty tiresome after months of it though.

Pretty to look at... a pain to live with.

The drive through Florida and back will be lots of fun.  [thumbsdown] [bang]

We are getting another 5 inches tonight. Potholes everywhere. Front suspension needs work in the spring. And yet we still have our fair share hooligans.

Theory blown.
