The freezing rain is worse than the snow. Rather unusual weather for you I would imagine.

I would be happy if that was the worst we got in the northeast. Not looking forward to this winter.

I hear ya brother. I'm from the Northeast (MA) been here all my life, hate the winters more each year. Expecting a couple inches. Just enough to make a mess. But will be spending time with my family, picking out our Christmas trees and bringing them home. Who ever travels the roads tonight please be careful.

That does not even rate a light dusting up in these parts.Snow is when you can't read the street signs.A bad snow is when you can't see the house next door.

I am glad I am here in San Jose. We may have our problems, but I am glad I dont have to worry about shoveling snow off my driveway, car, sidewalks, etc.

We are having a cold front this weekend, with temps in the 40s. But no snow, sleet, etc.

We have had 24" overnight already this year. It does give ya time to pull interior parts and not worry about having the car down for weeks.
