Yuck. I had to get a rental car while my van is in the shop. I don't think I'll be going anywhere tomorrow morning. :P

1. Want some cheese with that whine?
Tonight
Cloudy with snow likely. Up to an inch additional accumulation. Areas of blowing snow. Windy. Lows around 13. Northwest winds 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 60 percent.

Thursday
Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of snow. Highs in the mid 20s. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts to around 30 mph.


Just joshing ya, 'Nova. Take the rental out and spin donuts in parking lots in the wee hours on the ice....the emergency brake helps!

2. Thanks, I'll do that!

I'm sure the rental company would enjoy charging my cc for the full cost of the car I'm sure to destroy.

8. Indeed
I remember how my dad taught me how to drive in winter conditions...He took me out on the frozen lake and I whipped as many shitties as I could. Then learned how to gain control of the car in a skid.

13. Yikes!
Luckily, it's not supposed to be too bad, sticking mostly to higher things like bridges and power lines.
