37 and sunny here today. I decided to take advantage of one of the last nice days and detail the S in preparation for its 6-month nap.

Big wet fluffy flakes of snow.........not happy.

It's a great day to clean, but I just don't feel like cleaning.
Looks like you're getting it and not me.
We've just got the howling wind.
How did you manage to miss the snow? You're between Lainey and us and I've got snow on the lawn [but nothing on the roads].

but you guys are more coastal, we're 40 miles inland.
I don't think we saw a flake to day.

Used auto start today. Glad I have it, but I'm not crazy about the weather. Even broke out a winter coat. I like to put that off as long as possible.

The Honda had some snow/ice on the rear window from yesterday's storm, and it had to be moved to make way for guys working on re-siding our house. We wasted gas and let it melt vs scraping the window.

Today started at about 37*F and windy. Now about 44* F and windy.

That's quite a machine Rob I had the same model when I was taking care of a very large condo complex it worked great on stairs and also never bogged down I remember running it through well over a foot of snow with no problem.
We lucked out here had wind and cold but no precipitation which equals NO SALT TRUCKS going out! So my S is still on the road.

A few photos taken with my cell phone of the polar vortex approaching my neighborhood. The temperature was 62 degrees when the photos were taken and it dropped thirty degrees within forty minutes. Hello winter…It’s gonna’ be cold for the next four days.

That's quite significant. It was 90 here Thursday (a record for us in November I think), but back to normal with only 70 today.

Yes! I'm so sick of the 90s. Low 70s here in Orange County, today, and in the 70's all week.
