But we have huge snowplows, and brine trucks, and cinder spreaders, and everyone runs studded winter tires (or the new studless variety) for six months out of the year. Knowing how to cope with the snow, and having the right equipment for it, makes us feel sorry for folks that have none. Stay safe down there.Rev.

Too hot outside. The rest of the year, it's hot coffee. It may just be to warm my hands though.<br /><br />Course, the one advantage of Iced Coffee in the Winter, especially where the Winter is regularly cold, is that the Coffee stays cold.

Plus rain. While it's true that you don't have to shovel rain, it ain't very picturesque.<br /><br />I had a fellow at work ask me why I drank iced coffee in the winter. I asked him if he warmed his beer up in the winter. "No, of course not!" Did he stop drinking beer in winter? "Well, no, of course...
