Chilly here for the next few days...lows in the upper 20's and low 30's.
Snow is highly unlikely.

My God. There's a 10% chance of rain tomorrow and the forecasted high is only 81 degrees. Time for an emergency run on Home Depot and the grocery store.

Used to seeing all sorts of weather down here in Texas but glad we're going to miss all of the shenanigans going on in the rest of the US.

Looks like for once the Northeast is getting off easy aside from possible high winds disrupting parades.

It got up to 73F in Atlanta today. That turkey just got naked and ran for freedom. I was hoping for snow but instead I got bees.

Got a bit of snow here this afternoon. Still blowing around. This is when I got home from work.









Got to exercise my 4x4. :p I've always had small cars so this is quite a change. The nice thing will be when there's more snow and not worrying about getting stuck at stop signs. Had a few close calls last year with my last car where I had to rock it back and forth a bit to get going, thankfully there was no one behind me.

Just remember...4x4 helps you GO, but doesn't do anything to help you STOP.

Not any different than a non 4x4 though. Brakes are what make you stop. :p But better control means you won't have to worry about being in a situation you have to stop suddenly since you can just go around. Of course you still need to give proper braking distance etc when there is a car in front of you. I still need to test what the handling is like if I find myself having to slam the brakes though, a good thing to test out in a parking lot now that we have decent snow.
