I found a place with ice throughout the summer, but it's south of the big city (my husband would have a conniption if I told him I wanted to drive there), over 70 miles, estimated drive time of an hour and twenty minutes (but everybody is driving that direction most f the time, so probably th drive would be longer.)
Realistically speaking, I could only make the trip about once a month, if that often....
So I got curious, how long do you drive on average (although I believe I am too German in my distance calculation...in one hour you traverse half the country, while here in the US...you are just reaching the suburbs...)
