Been in it already; think Star Trek at Warp 9 for the visual.  Not fun drives in the dark   :(

Been too lazy to mount the snows on the Scoob, but will have to this week, as I'm headed to the mountains on the weekend.  Unfortunately, not for skiing.  The latest warm weather has killed skiing.  Bummer.

Man I was totally taken by surprise by this snow. I still have a ton of stuff to get done in the backyard and move stuff in my shed.

I just called my dealership to put the winter tires on the Sonata and the earliest is in two weeks. I'm hoping the temperature doesn't fall too quickly as I don't trust OEM tires once the roads freeze!

I think I'd prefer that we had  Florence's winter every year. Florence  is on the same latitude as the GTA.

I understand that. However, mrs tpl would protest and point out that she likes to grow things that are not cactus in her garden... a bit more rainfall for her please.
