Denny,
You weren't suppose to give the answer away, I wanted some one who didn't know what it was to ask about it. I hope you get heat stroke (just kidding, I'm really jealous
). I would say wait until mid August and you get all the heat and humidity but we get it just as bad up here during the summer. I just want a place where it is some what warm all year long. People up here tell me I'd miss the changing of the seasons, bull, I wouldn't miss 0° days and blowing winds that make it feel cooler and I wouldn't miss the snow.

You guys don't understand extreme snowplowing. The tandem dually dumptruck is std equipment. This is an example of what hits the roads here when winter finally takes hold in December. Borrowed from Falls Plows
Or the rotary plow that Wayne posted - but those are usually reserved for the mountain passes!!

Are there any members who don't know what this is? (Please, those that do need not reply)
If you don't know what it is and what it is used for please post your location and average real estate prices for a two bedroom house with a storage building that can hold four vintage vehicles. I want to be your neighbor.

Quite right, Tim. Those are all pics of equipment used to keep I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass, east of Seattle in the Cascade Mountians, clear. And they get a workout, too. Above average number of closures up there, this past winter season.

Actually the snow isn't what bothers me the most, the the dang cold. I hate being cold, I having to bundle up to go outside and I really hate having to work outside in the cold. You'd think a guy who was born and raised in this climate would get used to it but I hate it. What really bites is I can only drive my truck a few months out of the year and when something has to be fixed it takes that much time out of my driving season.

Sure enough...woke up this morning to 3 inches and still falling.
I feel you Bob, i was born and raised in a ski resort...you would think i would be used to and enjoy the winter.
Havi, that Bombardier looks like a blast. If it snowed half an inch i would be out there plowing...or just tearing it up around the neighborhood!!!
But on the upside...my father and I signed papers for a small shop space. 20x 32 with 110/220 and heat. Might not be very much to some folks...but having no garage to work in is huge!!!! It will make the long winter months bearable at least. I will post some pictures of the new space after the first of April. My dad is a furniture builder and we both needed a space to work. I am stoked to say the least!!!!!

Where do you guys live? We stopped getting in the hot tub - too hot at night now to get in it.. I knew you guys would want to know that.
For us summer is the crap season - it goes on forever - 100's don't end until October....

Sunny, with a chance of snow. It was actually said like that on the news yesterday morning. Sure enough, 58 degrees and sunny at lunch and almost white out at dinner. Gotta love the high desert.
