2008-11-25 07:03:32 My wife and I flew to Florida from BUF for Christmas of 2001. When we flew back we had to rent a car to drive home to Webster because our car was buried in several feet of snow. We returned the rental car the next day outfitted in our snow gear and shovels and dug the car out - no task for our Florida vacation-wear. —BradMandell
