I just pulled my Roadmaster Estate Wagon out for the first time in years and first gear slips. Bands are shot. Hills suck to make it go. When I retire after my job here in PA is done, I am going to head out west in the flat desert. Year round heat and no snow will suit me fine.
Hah!
You’ll want Phoenix or Tucson, then. You wouldn’t like New Mexico where I live, in the mountains east of Albuquerque.
Plenty of snow—and MUD!!— this winter. Not like Colorado or Utah or further north, of course, but more than what you’re looking for.
Good luck.
