Warmer Climate

As winter sets in over much of our half of the planet, and I see the reports of nasty cold weather happening to many of my friends, family, and Twitter associates, I'm glad I live in a warmer climate. It makes it much easier to enjoy my cars all year around.
I spent most of my life living in colder areas, and dealing with snow, ice, and freezing weather.  It seems like the cold weather lasted almost half of the year, though in reality, it was probably more like four or five months. But, it was way to much time to put up with weather that hampered my enjoyment of my cars. Though I drove my performance cars year around, there were many days that they had to stay in the garage, because of snow and nasty roads.
We've had this home in Southern Utah for eight years now, though we have lived here full time for less than four years. Even when our primary home was up north, I kept my best performance car garaged down here, so I could enjoy it when I was down on weekends and holidays. I quickly grew to love this climate, and couldn't wait to live here full time.
As many of my Twitter friends and associates talk about putting their performance cars away for the winter, it makes me appreciate my warmer climate, because I remember vividly what it was like living in the snow. I'm very happy I live where I do.
