In the Philly suburbs, they forecast 10-20". We got 22". FIRE THOSE BASTARDS!

By any standard, this storm was huge for our area. There have been plenty of occasions where the local weatherdorks (one in particular, in a bow tie) get it really wrong and cause a panic for nothing. This storm was most certainly not one of those cases.

Those are big hawaiian snow flakes. Well it is cold. Got down to low 70's maybe high 60's recently. No bridge to the mainland so I'm missing the fun of driving across lawns inadvertently.

Mabuhay, the color is Vesuvio Metallic. It was factory colour in 1999. At first I did not really like it but now I think it is cool. It is dark grey with some brownish purple in it.

I want to see some more snow pictures to remind me of creeping along in fresh snow playing the game of snow building up in front of the tires if I breath on the brakes making life a view of the dynamics of gravity and sliding here there and everywhere into lawns trying to get out of the neighborhood. I did kind of enjoy the doughnuts going down I-5 in Oregon compliments of the snow. More snow falling so I'm sure there's more to come.

Not my car but some worry about snow? Worried about temps?
These guys are rallying in the snow with the top down in a classic 356.
No salt probably.
