The glory of winter without a car

There are many, many reasons why it would be nice to own a car in the winter...most of them so obvious that I won't even list them...but, there are also many reasons why it is nice to not own a car in the winter:

• No scraping frozen windows or brushing the snow off your car
• You don't have to worry about getting stuck in the snow
• Although the bus or trax may run a bit late, I don't have to worry about 'snow day' traffic with horrendous commute times
• You don't have to sit in a freezing car and wait for the heater to kick in
• It's fun to walk in slush and snow, it's like ice skating for free! ;)

So anyways, we are coming upon our fourth month without owning a car. Ucarshare has been very nice for running errands that require more "stuff" than we can carry with our hands but UTA has really been our godsend.

We are trying to decide where we will be when spring comes and our lease is up...Jake is pretty determined to remain car-free but we'll see where we end up.
