SNOW, where to go?

Where to go?

Wife wants me to take here somewhere, so she can see some snow. I said, you realize its summer. Wrong answer with a menaposal wife. So, we live in the midwest (St Louis Missouri area). Where's the nearest snow covered mountain? Being were from Louisiana, I've only been out west once to Wyoming. That's a two day drive one way. ( $600 just for fuel)

Maybe I need to cut the entire exhaust off until she's over this.
Thanks!!!

Well I am in Canada just Northwest of you and you would have to go a LONG way to hit snow if you were to head north. It's mid 70's here right now, nice and green so 900 miles sounds pretty close.

Snow

Know anybody who drives a Zamboni?
Have him dump it in the back of your CTD... Instant snow cones.

My wife became that unreasonable a couple years ago and "IT IS NOT MENOPAUSE!!!" said my wife. So I took her to the doctor and when she went in, I had a talk with the doc in private. He gave her some "happy pills" to balance her and now she is fine.

The happy pills sound cheaper, if they don't work for her. I'll take them!

Was camping this weekend by Cuchara, Co (Southern Colorado) at about 10,500 ft. Snowed overnight and was really cold. Wanted to ride the ATV's but both trails are blocked by 2ft + of snow!! . Going to have to wait till late July to get up there....

We had 6 inches of snow on I70 at the Eisnehower Tunnel, and at Vail there was some snow last night.

For some reason it's still snowing in the high country
