Just the price that I am willing to pay for the good times.
It is not good in frozen sleet and it does not want to play trail blazer especially in lake effect snow. New shoes and some weight will not change that.
That's great that you can go flex time when it snows, but what if the snow comes down while you're at work and have to go home in it? I bet you watch the weather news a lot in the winter! It's good that you have alternate transportation. Too bad there isn't more of it!
Good luck this winter! Drive safe, Unc!
