    Had maybe 3" this morning. Pain was the crust chit underneat it. Snowed(yea I said it!!) All day yesterday, But nothing stuck. But all that melt froze overnight once it got cold. I forgot(bumb azz) to clear the squirt nozzles in my hurry to get on the road. Had to pull over and whack the ice off of them to clean the slop a truck slung on my windscreen.

    Snowed on and off until 7 ish tonight. But looks to be over now?? But all is pretty much gone except for a few spots on the lawn..........

    Just a bit farther north of me, Its a white out!! :eek:

    Had a total of maybe 3/4" of wet snow. Most was gone by mid afternoon. Wind has howled on occasion, though.

    Saw a little white coating on the trees yesterday Am. But by the end of the day, even that was gone. It did "spit" snow off and on but never amounted to anything. A little further inland, they were not so lucky.

    I just figured out that if I start my new truck from inside the house, the defroster and heated seats turn on automatically. :thumbs: Once I put the key in it and turn it on, they shut off and I have to reset them. Nice getting into a cold vehicle with warm seats and a clear windshield.

    Glad you are happy with it. Comfort means a lot, esp. as we are a bit older.

    My new ride has that stuff too. Mine turns the rear defroster and outside mirror heat on too. As soon as I get into the nice warm car, I hit the heated steering wheel button........ahhhhh, so nice. :banana:
