Default Not a good day for top down driving

In a suburb of "America's Finest City", we had to slush through loads of BB sized hailstones today. Definitely not a good day to drive with the top down, or at all in your new car. (yes, us southern Californians mostly find this to bea spectical whenever something white falls from the sky and sticks to the ground, and it isn't in the mountains!)

Wow! I was supposed to go to SD this next week and am glad I held off.

Looks like that is Rancho Santa Fe? Exactly what intersection?

I know this will make you guys feel better - we had 10" of snow today. DOT says "no travel advised". And yesterday I was thinking about putting the Summer tires on the SUV

At least I see no need to take a Winter driving course; I live it everyday
