We're -2 and headed for the pluses the next few days. But mother of god there is a 40-50cm storm forecast for Thursday.

I don't like the sounds of our Thursday forecast.

And you know how I love having a spotless vehicle so you can imagine how annoying it is for me to have a constantly dirty G.

I guess the good news is you are minimizing the scratches. I drove over and took my G out of storage on Monday since it was a gorgeous day and streets were perfect from all the rain.
That was a refreshing change from the Caravan and the Pontiac.

Hopefully the wintertime blues will be ending shortly as I am planning on booking my winter trip this weekend. Right now, it's between a resort in Cuba or another resort in Dominican Repuplic. I am headed to the inlaws for supper tomorrow so the decision will be made then. Although it's only been 3 months since we got back from Europe, our vacation can't come soon enough.

East Coast is well known for lots of slippery conditions too. We get so much black ice freeze/thaw with norm temps in the winter just below and just above freezing.

Had to come into the office today, as I have a couple of guys working OT.
It's mild & snowing, making for a mixture just like grease on the roads.
