I would prefer it to snow and freeze. Its tough gettin around in the mud sometimes. I have a good 4 wheel drive and good tires but hate that mud. A wise man told me one time that 4 wheel drive lets you get stuck alot further from help. Lol.
Statewide wouldn't hurt... My home lake is so low my dock is totally on dry land. But that seems insignificant when compared to the suffering of people who make a living off the land. And of course this drought has taken a toll on the wildlife we cherish.
