Haven't had a proper Winter around here for what seems like a lifetime, but when one does happen getting anywhere for snow/ice and other people's stuck-in-the-ditch vehicles can turn into a truly nasty adventure. (Got a ton of justification for all those snow tired vehicles and the odd ugly old truck with a snowplow hangin' out the front end.)
Plus, those "proper Winters" always seem to launch by dumping a couple feet of snow precisely on Election Day.
Voting absentee hasn't really been necessary but I'd prefer to carry a tool I don't need than need a tool I ain't got.
Yeah, in Montana I don’t blame you at all. I was being cheeky. People don’t realize the daily battle out there in November. We have it easy in New England by comparison.
