Frost in LA - Hell Froze Over?

[Topless]

We do get frost once in a while here. Even a bit of snow on the ground every 10 years or so. I do believe it is a felony to leave a Porsche outside in the cold on a winter night though.

For windshield de-icing I just run a hose over it for a moment and the ice washes away. This may not be nearly as effective in Nebraska or Wisconsin in winter but it worked for me on my work truck today. I don't recommend this for a 70s Targa as the top moisture seal is really just a suggestion.

Did you have TV reporters remoting from driveways explaining to ppl what that was on their windshields? I'm sure ppl were freaking out. Don't TV stations go nuts whenever it rains? They have to remind ppl how to drive and to not look up in the sky when it's raining or you'll drown?

So true! I've lived in the Los Angeles area my whole life and still laugh when the news stations announce we are on "Storm Watch". Yeah, storm watch for 1/2 inch of rain! It's true. Then, when the 1/2 of rain comes in they are live at the storm channel (aka the LA River - True!) showing the water flow. LAFD deploys a quick water rescue response team because some folks are dumb enough to find themselves in the water. And, lets not talk about how the drive in the rain in Los Angeles. Oh well.... at least I can drive the Boxster throughout the year. Except when it rains.
