I dunno - I kind of like NJ. I grew up here, so maybe I'm biased. Mountains to the left, ocean to the right - both an hours' drive. I live on top of a mountain - air is good (relatively speaking), and the change in seasons is nice.
I got 3 feet of snow in some places, and have bare ground in others. The right side of my driveway was 5 feet high by the time I got done blowing the snow off of it. Left side was about 6 inches. The wind did wild things with the snow.
My 40-year-old snowblower just isn't cutting it anymore. Every muscle in my body aches from wrestling with it for hours. I called my dad today and gave him the sad news - it's time to retire the machine that has been handed down from generation to generation. I ordered up me a brand new one online - should be here in 10-15 days.
My brother's '87 T is a blast to drive in the snow. We just put a GT3255 on it and it's a handful even on dry pavement. The BFG Radial TAs aren't too bad. I get to drive it to work in the morning. I'd rather be driving my Caddy, but that's a long story.....
