It's snowing here once again in southern New England. I'm thankful for that as the old snow was getting dirty. Tomorrow is supposed to be windy and the coldest day of the winter so far. That's nice as I'll be able to go outside without being bothered by the mosquitoes.

"the old snow was getting dirty." Made me chuckle.

All our snow has melted now. Back to rollercoaster temps.
The wind is gusting pretty hard today.
Our electric bill only went up 7.00.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

On my way to my daughter’s cheer competition at about 10:30 this morning.
Also had a few inches of snow overnight, makes me happy my snowblower has heated grips! -

Yeah, driving in the snow takes experience and practice!
I took the opportunity this morning to teach my older daughter about driving in the snow, as the roads were pretty messy and she will be driving in less than a year.
Talked about adjusting your driving to match road conditions, and not to trust roads covered in snow and ice...
I had some fun and showed her a bit of what I was talking about by goofing around a bit. It's always helpful when you have the twin turbo version of a vehicle that's RWD biased.

It's stupid cold. We are in Lancaster for an overnight stay at the Eden Resorts. Went to diner at the Harvest farm to table.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
Ain't any **** here about our weather, should be 0 and were gonna see 49 today.
It's been crazy warmer than it should be this winter in WY.
That's no reason for any Californians to be moving here either. -
You haven’t driven in the snow,until you drive an LLV in the snow. Worst vehicle EVER in bad weather! I don’t miss that even a little bit.See my profile for list of gear. -
Judging from our local LLV's I'd be afraid to drive one in perfect weather.

Yeah, LLV = Long Life Vehicle. And they have by far outlived their long lives lol. One of my positions in the PO was working the postal garage parts room. The number of engine and transmission replacements in those vehicles would astound any certified mechanic and IMO should all be permanently retired from service.
When I was a supervisor in various stations, I'd sometimes have to drive a "working" LLV out to swap with a carrier and wait for the tow truck to take me and the broken LLV either back to the station or garage. The vehicles are gutless with horrible suspensions and very poor handling. Basically, a sheet metal box on a chevy S10 drive train.
I was never a carrier, so I didn't have to contend with them on a daily but every carrier I spoke with hated them. Can't imagine trying to operate one on snowy roads..Set up:

During the recent storms here parking is at a premium with no place left to put the snow. I always clear an extra spot in my driveway and told our mail carrier he's more than welcome to use it. He's used it daily ever since and has thanked me repeatedly. I didn't think it was big deal but I'm wondering if they're not supposed to park on private property without permission?

Last push of the cold before we get on a warming trend this coming week:

He always backs in very carefully. No danger of hitting anything as he has 2 full parking spaces to do what he needs. Glad I'm able to help. -
We've been in a deep freeze for the past week. Usually when it's that cold it doesn't snow. But it's been snowing. Windy AF so snowblowing is a real treat. Can't feel the fingers, only one side of the yard where I can direct the snow and the wind blows most of it right back on the driveway and all over me.
We are expecting another 10-15 cms today but it's warming up at least. -
We Had Sun! Oh wait. It's gone.
Ahh yes! The northwest "liquid" sunshine. I remember it well. I can remember racing at PIR and watching the sun play peek-a-boo all day, and watching the downpours coming in waves. If you could time them correctly, you could make a decent tire choice: wet or dry tires. Choose wrong and it could cost you a lot of $$$Set up:
