snow in the forecast for later this week... but it was clear sunny & in the mid fifty's when home for lunch today so I drove Bridget this afternoon - might be the last drive of the season, usually put them away on remembrance day... always a sad time of the year when the LBC's have to be put to bed.

Our good driving weather is split. Spring is nice. Summer is usually too hot. Fall is great. Winter is not actually too bad except for the salt.

That's too bad. Weather really getting nice down here. Should be good through Christmas. Then we will have a month of winter, Feb through May is good again.

Weather here is still pretty good but chilly. Took a fall leaves tour the other morning, I had just opened the valve for the heater so my lower legs stayed nice and warm. It's time to put the top back on though.

Not me, I'm still driving every day.

Installing a heater set in your drivers seat is highly recommended - I can't tell you how nice it is on a cold frosty morning. You really would have to feel it to understand.

The heat from the car does help but the electric heat in the seat bottom and back starts up almost immediately and it just makes it so nice to drive even if the rest of me is cold those parts are warm and that really makes a huge difference.
I have driven this car through every winter since I bought it and now with just a few frosty mornings I can really tell that this winter is going to be different.

Plus having changed out my fuse box for more modern gear I feel confident I won't have the electrical issues that plagued me last winter.

Yesterday morning was a beautiful, chilly fall morning so I was out in the BE for hours. This morning there is snow on the ground, but only a light dusting. I am about 2 miles south of lake Erie a bit West of Cleveland. It looks like the clouds are clearing off...........

The snow came yesterday & it's still on the ground this morning, enough to almost cover the grass... farewell driving season 2011 !
Sometime in March 2012 I should see some "teaser" days...
