Re: Should I sell my Jeep wrangler?
Subzero here today, but thanks to the Gulf Stream / Atlantic Conveyor /
Thermohaline Circulation / whatever I can live north of the latitute of the
bottom of Alaska albeit rather rainily, with the temperature rarely going
below minus 10 degress Centigrade.

Re: Should I sell my Jeep wrangler?
We just had a big dump of snow over the weekend, a couple feet. My wife
and I spent 4 days at a camp snowed in. We didn't have the Jeep so we
had to wait for plows to come and dig us out.
It was 'sooo' nice! Good food, good wine, nice fireplace, outdoor hot
tub. We really didn't want to get dug out...
'We' had to keep the hot tub dug out, LOL, no real trouble there...
Here is a photo of the hot tub in the Misc. album:
