Gotta love freezing rain...

Same problem I had here in Ohio. I'm moving my other car into storage this weekend and thankfully can then put my truck in the garage.

 

Summers, sure, but no so much in DC this morning..

 

True story. Got about 2-3" on the ground right now just outside the beltway and it's going to be a slushy mess now that it's turning to rain. That's why this literal swamp sucks so much - you get the shitty cold winters but you still get ball soup come May. There's about a week of Fall and two weeks of Spring but otherwise, it's pretty miserable.

Freezing 75F today.

 

I remember that
I lived in So Cal for about 5 yrs at one time in my life
I still miss the weather sometimes inthe wintertime
But nothing else!

 

I've only up here for 10 days with a week left to go. Arrived comfortably in a t-shirt, now I'm borrowing clothes just to make the one mile walk from Pentagon City to Crystal City for lunch. Contemplating the prudence of using the electric rental scooter I brought home last night, that now sits buried in snow on the sidewalk. lol

 

Yeah, weather turns on a dime around here. I've pretty much been in the habit of keeping a lighter Patagonia puff jacket half the time and a gore-tex rain jacket full time in the back of my truck.

 

Heard about the ice out your way. Luckily its going to be all snow by the time the snow reaches Upstate NY. I am hoping for 5-10 inches by tomorrow morning.

 

I dunno man, It 8:50 in the morning and 55 degrees here right now. Not sure I can handle it.

 

I will never miss having to stand fully suited in the Pentagon metro stop dungeon on a soupy August morning waiting for the train nor the death march down I Street to meet my dad for dinner on a wickedly cold January evening. At least we can ski here in UT!

 

Just started freezing here in Socal. Hit 54 degrees this morning...

 

South of Houston - Tuesday morning not even freezing and got snow! First cold snap of the year.

 

Damn! I feel your pain, it's in the mid 70s here on the west coast, Brrr! I don't know if I can handle it....It's probably a bit warmer where the fires are.

 

Driving through freezing rain for 2 hours gives you a mold of your mirrors!

Christmas eve / night before last year in Maine:

 

Why LEDs are NO GOOD in cold weather! You'd never get that ice block off!

 

My truck is all iced over like that too plus the electricity also went out.

I can send you a bucket of sunshine.

 

That would be nice, still no electric so I have the generator going for some heat and a light.

 

How do you defrost the rear window on 3rd gen?
