Ok, so we didn't get the 12+ inches they got just an hour north of here but the roads were snowcovered and VERY slippery on my way home but she was a trooper all the way home. =)

Great to know she can handle the snow, just in case I should ever need to know that.

You maybe should have gotten a red one though. You might lose her in the snow.

It's funny you say that because my nephew went off the road early this morning. They had so much snow a couple hours north of here that his Jeep was buried in a ditch to the top of the side windows.

That made me think if that ever happend to me in this little white car, nobody would see me! I stopped and sent a text to my friend telling him my exact route so if I wasn't home by a certain time, he could call or come look for me.

Maybe you should tie some red streamers or something to the antenna. You know like they do at Lowe's when you get a piece of wood that's too long and sticks out the bed of the truck.

Yeah, all the snow flying in front and on the lense adds to the effect. lol

It rained overnight before all that snow. Now, wherever the plow went and no salt was put down, there's a big sheet of ice. Driving won't be any easier today than it was last night.

73 here today (nuts), but 2-5" of rain due in the next 36 hours. The snow is way prettier. It suppose to be back to normal for the weekend though. 50's during the day, 30's at night.

No. It stopped snowing a while ago but it's very cold and all that rain is now sheets of ice everywhere. Personally, I'll take driving on snow over driving on ice any day.

I really should move someplace warm. I'm just not liking this weather at all and the older I get the worse it gets.

Lisa your Yaris looks great in the snow! I got my license plate Lisa..CIPNGAS, so glad you didn't mind....Now I have to learn to upload photos to show my permanently installed GPS tucked away neaty in the right hand glovebox.

Let me hear from you...Judy

I'm watching the snow fall right now - 5 to 8 inches forecast for us, but we are right on the coast. Inland they are looking at 10-15 inches.... Happy!
