I live close to Toronto, got my snow tires put on yesterday.
It was crazy busy there had to wait 45 mins even though I had a firm appointment.
Don't like the winter, prefer summer and fall

My snow tires are going on Sunday.

I have a very steep driveway and the snows do help. Also have front wheel drive and a stick shift.

I hate driving in snow/ice.

It's my least favorite part about winter.

I had to find my scraper so I could clean the truck off this morning, in CT it is the law you have to clean your vehicle off before driving somewhere.

Plus the Ranger does not have a rear window defogger so it keeps fogging up. Guess I'll have to try that stuff @Bruinaura posted about.

*Sigh* 2020 can just f*** right off

Just dont wipe it if you can help it. You'll get crazy water spots everywhere.

True story Im afraid to admit. but one time instead of the orange windshield fluid, I put orange antifreeze in there. Man, did that make it difficult to see after squirting that on the window. lol.

I should amend my post on snow. Snow isn't bad although I'm not exactly fond of shoveling it. It is the cold I don't like and you can't have snow without cold.

Beautiful day out here in Vegas as I wait for someone to come help me at the gun smith. Since my AR has live rounds jammed in it I need to wait for staff to come and get me. Prolly Covid guidelines too.

I'm part of the Boston COVID study and I just got my results of my first at home covid test and thankfully it is negative.

The only downside is that they will not tell you if you test positive for antibodies.

Hopefully the tests turn out to be accurate enough where people can do their own tests at home in the future

I've had mine freeze up a million times but never used coolant. I have no idea how that would even react. Did it just clog up like slime on the glass?

Still see it on our shelves.

Be careful and don’t shoot your eye out

Not really slime. More like a clear lubricant, where you couldnt see a thing if you used the wipers. Probably not so bad during the day, but this was at night, and you couldnt see a thing with the lights hitting the windshield.

Long drive

I made the mistake of eating left over chicken parm and spaghetti got lunch instead of a salad with some chicken in it and I’m lying on my bed like Brian Wilson unable to function from the food downer

I also can’t shovel in October

I have a dentist appointment at 4 so that will get me in motion - looks like early March out there

I also had 6 yards of screened Loam delivered this morning that now looks like old Boston Hill in Andover or wherever it was

Glad I moved to Tennessee. Four seasons and none of them harsh. Great foliage, cheap cost of living, lots of national parks. Only had to shovel snow one year so far.

Yep... I've lived in Maryland, Florida, and Tennessee, and I have to say that Tennessee is my favorite.

 

[Ladyfan]

When I left work I had 4 inches of heavy snow on my car. I had to push it off with my jacket I guess I will have to dig out the snow scrapper. The roads were fine.

It was beautiful with the trees , colors, snow and sun. Pretty drive home.

This.

Bad enough when it's just powder, but this stuff is so sticky it'll fly off in huge sheets and do real damage....if not worse....to anyone behind them.

Can’t you carry a gun in Vegas even in a bar
