good! - it should kill the rest of the palmetta bugs.
About the same here (*just* to the right side of the Delaware River).
My school is closed all day today due to this......maybe I can get a little work done on the Austin today.
Tuesday night we had a <span style="font-style: italic">sudden</span> increase in snow around 8:20 PM and I let my night class out early (normally we run until 8:45 PM).
My Miata had about 4" of snow on the roof when I got out to it. It took me 30 minutes to exit my faculty <span style="text-decoration: underline">parking lot</span> (about 100 yard drive) due to the backup of people all leaving our campus at the same time.
Then I was on our "Campus Drive" (about a 3/4 mile internal road) for about 20 minutes before I was actually able to get off campus.
At one point on Campus Drive, there was a huge jam-up where two cars were stuck and couldn't make it up a slight hill. The two cars that were stuck were a Camaro and a Mustang (both RWD). There was about 20 students and campus security trying to push the two pony cars up the hill. Meanwhile, a 4-wheel drive Suburban had tried to jump a curb to pass the two cars and had gotten stuck diagonally.
It was like watching a <span style="font-style: italic">Laurel and Hardy</span> movie. :laugh:
Turned out the Mustang was a guy from my class.
As I approached this little hill in the road, I left a little "gap" in front of me and took a rolling "run" at it. I cruised right up it in my RWD sports car.
Blizzaks rule!
I waved at the stuck Mustang as I went by.
Our local weather prediction is at or close to 100% chance of snow all day today.
I have three RWD cars (plus an Accord I never drive). I haven't gotten stuck once this Winter. [knocks MGB wooden shift knob/] :wink:
