| We got quite a bit today while I was at work. Driveway was clear when I left. Studded snows have worked really well this winter. Don't worry she's in the garage thawing off now. | |

| Nick, The car was actually cleaned earlier this week. It has very little salt on it. But there were Ice chunks I wanted to melt off. Besides it starts up happier in the warm garage.
Mike. You say that right now. But what about the three months of triple digit weather you get every summer? You have complained how it gets to be too hot to even wash your car there.
Me. I like 4 distinct seasons. Just this year has been a bit heavy compared to other years.

| Oh I fully admit I'm crying come August... No question! But I hate long pants and long-sleeved shirts and think jackets are flat punishment, so I can't live up north again. Also salt makes me cringe... All my buddies in PA and NJ keep sending me snow pics. I can't believe it. Stay warm and safe up there!! | |

| Dear Mike, on sincere behalf of over 1000 of your fellow forum members... BITE US! In the past 30 days, Rochester has had only 5 days that the temps actually were over 32* It's been a brutal winter so far and it's no where near over yet. . Only good news, if it can be called that, is the car is stored in a safe place out of the elements, but it's been too cold to consider anything related to working on it. Best regards, Dave

| Around here the state went crazy with the salt and sand mixture but I guess thats a good thing for drivers but a bad thing for cars.Before the storm I parked my OCC and RMW and used the 08 Odyssey for any and all trips.Sacrifice the minivan and save the wagons. |

| Seeing that pic of Doug's wagon in the snow reminded me of all the fun I had hanging the tail out in Syracuse. THAT was fun driving! | |

I might resemble that remark at times around New Hampshire... I like rear wheel drive with some guts in the winter. The Town Car was good but it's no Wagon. The weight is just about right where you want it. Enough traction to go but you can still hang the tail when you want to. | |
