The northeast and winter - SMH

[rob495]

Can’t take winters in the northeast anymore. Ice, low temps, and salt makes me want to move down south.

You have to deal with heat and/or humidity in the south, but no shoveling required. Year around driving of performance vehicles is a plus.

Not much better here in nashville buddy.

This year been treacherous.

Upstate NY has had at least 3 snow storms, 2 were pretty big, last one the biggest. Now we have not had a day over 20 in a minute and this past week been in the teens.

Car is in the garage as I don't need to use it.

Can't wait till spring

We want to move somwhere 'warmer' but NOT south. Thinking maybe Boise! Still seasonal, but not anywhere as cold and not quite as hot!

@rob495 I feel your pain brother. I grew out of winters in the Northeast years ago and moved. The true driving season up there is too short.

I’d love to move to Az or UT, beautiful country out there but worried about transitioning to my 7th grade daughter.

It's not even the weather, it's that the roads suck. My FL5 is great on a smooth road, but you hardly ever find one of those in Mass.

As a certain six-foot-five orangutan said, "still, could be worse."

Really? There should be really nice roads in Mass. I know where I am in NY and CT there is amazing roads. Mass is literally a boarder away. But maybe you are in a different area of Mass I guess.

I do wish the driving season was longer but its not terrible. Id say mid March till sometimes Mid December give or take 1 month.

I guess further north of where I am is worst though

There are nice roads in Western Mass, and I can find a nice road or two where we live north of boston, but when using the car to go around to places we need to go (not a sunday drive), the roads all suck horribly.

Central Mass here. This winter has been a real ball buster. I’m counting the days until I can take the FL5 out of storage, usually mid April is safe.

The roads in this state are atrocious. Every state bordering us, except RI, has far nicer roads. I was on I90 yesterday, which they’ve repaved a good deal of, but for whatever reason, they seem to skip the bridges. The bridges look and feel like a patchwork quilt made of concrete and asphalt. There are roads I drive on around here that have sections so bad that I literally stand on the dead pedal to lift myself out of my seat when I approach them. That’s how jarring they can be.

That’s nuts!
