Winter is just getting going for most of the country. The brain trust on the 6:00pm news says we'll get 3-16" of snow tomorrow. 3-16, really? Bunch of knuckleheads.
Salt has been on the roads for about 2 weeks now.

That sucks hard!! My dad has 4 inches on the ground in mid mo. Im glad im not there I would never get to drive my car. Where im from in mo.it can snow anytime from late oct till earl april. Thats 7 months of salted road issues no good. Of coarse there are years with no snow or ice but they are rare. Here in so cal there is a big salt issue but its in the air not the roads. Salt water atmosphere rusts everything if you're close to the beach cities. I got my car out last night just to go to the grocery store an back. I love driving it no matter how short my cruise.

Great weather today! Great enough to take the car for a morning spin.

No snow in the forecast so it was safe to take the car out.

This is what the car sounded like after the cruise!
