Yeah, Syracuseans would convulse, all right. :) But this transplanted
Yankee didn't sign up for /this/ kind of stuff in the land of the
Longleaf, and I want my money back. I moved down here precisely to get
away from this crud. Feh.

Besides, nobody down here knows how to drive in the snow. It's well
nigh a suicide mission to go out on the roads, even if you /do/ know
how to drive. :)
