Default Winter is here.

Just woke up to find a trace of snow on the ground. Looks real nice but not to fun to drive in. Guess i will see how the new SS handles on slick roads.

So cold this morning up in bham, and we made a rule in our house not to use the electric heaters, so it is like 40º in my house LOL! Only heat I get is from my computer and my monitors.. And when I got outside today and to my car, there was so much frost/ice on the trunk lid of my Volvo that it wouldn't stay up because of the weight. Freezing my *** off..
