Default Snow

Winter came early this year, it snowed last night about 1/2 inch. This is about three to four weeks early. I wanted to use my car this weekend, darn! I hope it rains soon and washes the roads off. Our highway department couldn't wait to put salt on the roads even if it wasn,t necessary

We've been getting snow flurries for the past week now. Some accumulation at night but, luckily, it's been melting during the day. The temperatures have been in the single numbers at night, and 20's with howling winds during the day.

Don't feel too bad about your weather. If you're still expecting the possibility of rain, things can't be all that bad.

BTW....the CTEK 3300 got connected last Sunday.

Larry-- maybe put your location into your profile?? The message kinda loses some impact without knowing where you're located . . .

It snowed here in Ontario, Hamilton... we've already stored the 'vette at the ending of October. I was washing our SUV today in -2 degree weather, I know, I'm crazy, and now the driveway and sidewalk is all covered in ice.. When I sprayed down the SUV, the water immediately froze and now it's sitting in the garage with ice all over it... I managed to remove most of it off, I'm stupid for trying to wash it in this rediculously cold weather anyways..
