I'd take that trade. The problem with the slush is that when the temperature drops the next night, the city becomes an ice rink. Mass General Hospital ER has full to the brim with people with broken limbs for two days now. It's a lot more dangerous than snow. My wife broke her arm two weeks...

No, it's the commercialization of valentine's day that the real bile is being directed at. It's like Christians who don't like the commercialization of Christmas, only without the boycott of target.
