OK -- it's not specifically a Versa topic -- but I gotta tell you that I've had it up to *here* with the snow this winter. [I'm pretty sure I'm not alone].

In the midst of yet another storm. Expecting up to 50 cm [~20 inches] of snow. Will take us up to ~400 cm for the winter [a little over 13 feet of snow!

On the Versa side of things . . . yes! Surefooted driving (someone great behind the whel, I'm sure ). Many (and I mean many) cars slow off the start, and sideways; my V straight ahead no problems. And the ABS work much better than my previous vehicles did.

Colour me happy [with the V] and unhappy [with the weather].

At least I'm not going anywhere for March Break!!!

could you please send the snow east? We have only had 2 inches of snow and desperately need at least 10 to 16 inches of snow to help with our drought conditions.

LOL, dude. . .you live in Canada...comes with the territory.

It's like someone in Egypt saying..."Arghh, I'm so sick of this sand and dead buried people wrapped in cloth!"

Although I feel your pain. I was in Indianapolis for only a week a few weeks ago and I was sick of it.

Sorry guys, but I'm here in sunny South Florida. But it's any consolation, it's been raining here for the last three days, pretty much straight.

Don't get me wrong -- I like winter. Normally. And can even put up with the few days of -35 (unlike the prairies where it went weeks on end).

Ottawa . . . home of the worlds longest skating rink (as opposed to Winnipeg's claim where really it's just an icy sidewalk) . . . great skiing (cross country and downhill nearby) . . . Beavertails . . . .

But come on. Second most snow in recorded history . . . a couple of more days like this and we'll break the record.

You could move to Seattle - no snow (or maybe 2-3 days/year) but you'll get a lot of rain - just in case you are sick of snow!

Going to watch some spring baseball tomorrow.

I thought it was chilly today, only 68. Thank goodness it's 72 tomorrow. Now I don't have to wear a jacket.

After our January thaw we could see patches of grass. Then it started up again. After yesterday this is our back yard.



And yup, that's a four foot chain link fence that you can just barely see.

Just get a body kit, or just a lip for the V and lower it. It works pretty well unless you get wedged into the snow.
