@Max: to drive in N.Y., also the Times Square by snow, is not funny - it's even not possible.
I made the experience, how the conditions are, when there is new snow coming in Manhattan an N.J., just this February. It was awful!
a)N.Y.-drivers are absolutely unable to handle their vehicles during snow-times. Nearly as worse like British drivers.
b) the street- and highway-maintenance-teams are unable to clear the streets fast and well.
c) it's ugly to walk as a pedestrian through snowy N.Y.-streets either. The construction of boardwalks and gullies is idiotic. At every crossing street you
have to look, where you can put your feet without stepping into icy water
Back to topic: I prefer nice, sunny, clear weather to drive on empty streets, mainly the Autobahn, because it's relaxing.
I hate mountains, hills and curves. I want to have a straight, free way.
I have a long way to work everyday (130 km daily), so I use the best time to avoid stuck in traffic during the rush-hour (I havd to pass the whole, totally settled Ruhr-area). I get up to 5 in the morning and start around 5.30. Because I'm the first in office, I can leave early, so between 14.30 and 15.00. Sure, I could/should work overtimes, too, because there is enough work to do, but I always refuse it. I'd said to my boss: "No more money, no overtimes. No homeoffice, no overtimes"
It would be much more worse, if I would start between 7.00 and 8.00 in the morning and would go back between 16.00 and 17.00. I always avoid it.
