I plan to be there by mid February, but I will not be moving into the house until the end of February. It looks like I will be heading to Seattle for a couple weeks during that time. Honestly, being from Florida and Texas I have probably never owned a winter coat by your standards.
I have never seen a heavy snow storm, never had a sled, never skied, and think I saw a picture of a snow mobile once. One good thing is I will be living and working at the same place so I am hoping to adapt the climate slowly and even learn to drive on icy roads.
Keep your cars off the street on icy days!
It does suck not being able to take the car, but I am definetly game for the Street Nationals in July.. I hear there is lots of things to do in the finger lake region and can't wait to get there. I don't think this will be my last II and if all works out my next one will make me forget all about the one I have now. Thanks for the offer to help Mike, I will let you know. Look forward to meeting you in person.
