Is this how it's going to be all winter? Or does it get worse?

Hey Z, don't get down. Remember, a frown is just a smile turned upside down!

With every new day...we are just one more day closer to Spring!!

I have a friend who claims it is a bad idea to carry tools in the car because the car knows, and will force you to use them.
She drove a '78 MGB from Denver to LA and then up to Seattle, and on a subsequent trip out east to New England and back, all without a single tool or spare part in the car, and never needed them.
Of course subsequently she blew a fuel line about 20 miles from home and practically burned the poor thing to the ground, but, hey, stuff happens.

Ah, this makes a lot of sense coming from a person who drives an MG... one of the most undependable cars on the road of all time!
