    I saw a graph earlier that showed anywhere from 55"-120" of snow for the rain the Midwest and east coast has endured the last week or so.
    ( that's 4.5 feet to 10ft of snow !!!! for the tape measure challenged )

    I'll pass on that kinda snow thanks.

    Buffalo NY we are not, it would shut NC down for a month

    Yeah I park over a sprinkler for a few hours moving it a little every half hour or so. That or it's $7 worth of quarters at the carwash. The one I use in Emerald Isle has a sprayer on rollers that points up that you can roll around under the truck without laying on the wet concrete.

    The salt and brine are tough, but mostly what gets it is the constant wet and never really drying off for long periods (days -weeks at a time) and water trapped and sitting between layers.


    In the winter the salt solution sits trapped between layers as it never warms up enough to dry out. In the Tacomas case it seems to be where there are layers of frame over lapping.

    Notice it's not in the body work much if at all ? They've figured out how to let the body drain better over the years, the frame sections, not so much.

    Wilmington pretty easy to keep rust at bay, if stay on top of it. You can tell the ones who dont, or who are fishermen for living

    Yeah I've been pretty annoyed up here. The weather guys were saying that the rain that we got last week would have worked out to roughly 9 feet of snow if it'd been colder. But instead it was 50 degrees most of the time. It only cooled down on Monday, so we ended up with about 6 inches of snow on the tail end of the system yesterday.

    My yard is mush.

    It did stop for a little bit here. Thank God for a garage, though I'll be greedy and wish for a multicar garage.

    What should I get from the Microsoft store? I've got a 60$ credit. Everything I click on is out of stock..
    I've got controllers, live, and a charger.
