yea, and the question... hmmm how long is this gonna last? A little is nice, a lot can be a problem.
start thinking about the amount of food in the house and if we have enough coffee ect...
We have it pretty good compared to our fore fathers who saw snow in a differant light. I imagine there were quite a few homes that were pretty cold inside - lots of babies born about 9 months after a good storm

Very true... No danger of problems for us here in PA, considering that we always have too much food in the house... Although I don't keep much food in Cary, so a trip across the road to the grocery store would be required.

On the plus side, weather forecast is calling for 60 degrees by the weekend. As Dell mentioned, it does not last. I had the Boxster out this morning, no problems just a few ice patches to practice over and under steer!

Roads are clear. DOT did a good job of pre-treating with a brine solution, which has now washed away. just a few icey spots, and they too will be gone in a day or two, where the shade is. My daughter had her BMW out this am, no issues.

I need to try and find time to wash my car before then, as it's all covered in junk.

Looking forward to it, especially after this morning. For those of you prone to Schadenfreude, read on.
Started this morning with a dead battery. Worn ignition key system allows you to remove key while still in "Accessory" mode. I'm aware of this, and usually very careful, so much so that it is almost a non issue, as making sure it is fully off is second nature, but it happens. I've tried to fix it before with mixed results, and will make the effort again next time dash is off.
Then getting out of car in parking lot, balancing full XL foam coffee cup on roof of car while getting laptop bag, coat, etc organized. Coffee makes a dash for freedom, spills evenly between my leg and the side of the car. Much loud profanity follows. Apologies to any bystanders. ( Dear god, think of the children....)
REALLY looking forward to a relaxing Saturday morning...
