    Not often, but it does in the Ski resorts.
    It can also snow near the in-laws, so The CrossClimate is perfect for my use.
    They are not the best on snow/ice but are the best compromise.

    Just been watching a show where they restore one of these:



    Seriously how cool is that?

    GM Futureliner, only 14 were made. Never heard or seen them before. They used them for promotion in the 1950s.

    Not pretty I agree but it's still super-cool.

    Yeah they were used before that too. Think they rebuilt them in the early 50's. Automatic transmission and driver sat in middle. We're pretty slow too but did weigh about 14 ton

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
