winter blows in the north

[poweraid]

hello ya all . I've been off the boards for a better part of 1/2 the year end . recently got back into golfing , and of course that cut in to my detailing time . winter here now and bored out of my mind . no winter hobbies . can't golf and really can only do some maintenance washes on the vehicles now . u wash your vehicle , clean the inside , and bam ! in a day or two it's a mess again already . snow , salt , sand , inside and out . if I could just have a nice heated garage I could still do details in the winter here , and also I'd have a golf simulator of some kind to keep my game up too . anyways I'll enjoy catching up on everything here, and to find out what I'll want to get come spring here . new golf clubs already on the table , that's $2g+ , as far as car care products I'll just be into trying something new .

In western NY state between Rochester and Buffalo , we don't have floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, raging fires, earthquakes or anything that could wipe out everything we own as far as Mother Nature goes.

In fact we had our first winter snow yesterday of which we got a whopping 1". It's already gone. The last few winters have been a joke compared to the mid Atlantic or Rockies or even Northern California.

We do get a lot of cloudy days in winter. We had a great summer and fall. Winters in western ny are nothing like when I grew up. The climate has indeed changed.

John, you make several great points! :props:

Like you, I remember winters when I was growing up in Southeast MA. Lot's of snow and cold was the norm and seeing temps hit -20 was very common. We do fall prey to an occasional hurricane but they're far and few between so I guess it ain't all that bad....:props:
