Hi I'm Andy, I joined last month. I've used scooters since age 8 (30 years) due to a neuromuscular disease and have bad scoliosis. I live in Buffalo. Yes the weather sucks. I came here in search of improving my quality of life (scooter) since the manufacturers keep cheapening their products and don't improve anything.
You DON'T now what real cold is. How does a month or two around -20oC with sometime nighttime lows sometimes at -40o (same in C and F) sound to you? That was Lansing, MI and Buffalo is about the same, though on average with more snow.
