Come on, that thing weighs like 10 pounds, it has to be warm. It would go over my leathers so I'd still have the protection there....

i don't think so, but give it a whirl

the problem is that i grew up with it, then moved away..........to discover that winters could still be "winter" but not like new england.

in your opinion... what part of the US has the best winter?

Southern California.

You have very mild winters towards the coast, but a short 2 hour drive gets you into Ski Country...

i was more thinking of places that actually have a winter, not places you have to drive 2 hours to get to the snow...

i liked jackson hole... boatloads of dry powder like snow with lots of warm sunshine 

2 hours isn't that far. When you get tired of the snow, go back down the mountain.

But, what you're looking for can be found in Oak Creek Canyon AZ. Little town called Sedona. Red Rock country. Beautiful, but kinda expensive to live there...

Colorado front range, up north in the fort collins area.

I think it actually snowed today. It wasn't hail, it wasn't really ice. It was "snow" perse, but more like slowly falling crushed ice. There was a slight buildup making it look festive. Although, I had to work all day so it was kinda wasted...

precipitation in the form of ice pellets created by the freezing of rain as it falls is called sleet 

snow will fall, don't worry... so much you'll be sick of it by march 

Well, early this morning, it actually snowed. Real snow, not sleet. We'll be going out to play in a few, just finishing up breakfast. I'll post up some pics of Haley's first snow!

YaY for SNoW!

we got some too (less than 2 in) 

we got snow over the weekend..........just enough to make it look like winter is here.

and its friggin COLD today

Yes it is.

especially here on top of this exposed hill top above the merrimack river..........<looks for the shivers emoticon>

Pics are coming, but today's high was 27.

I did learn something though.

Even if you won't be driving that day, it's a good idea to clear the snow off the windshield.

Apparently, the weather warmed up enough yesterday to melt just a little. Enough to put about 1/2" of solid ICE on the bottom part of my windshield. Had to start the truck (don't worry Nate, I didn't leave the wipers on) and the heat and go back inside for a bit...
