I give up; what's a gritter?

One of those salt and sand spraying vehicles? They've been pretty busy here of late.

Didn't stop me nearly hitting an insane small bulldog that appeared from nowhere out of a hedge yesterday. Missed by about an inch (the damn thing just stood there in the road whilst I wizzed past frantically trying to miss it on the black ice. Then the pooch started yapping and chasing me when I drove off !! ;)

Going to be 29 degrees tomorrow morning here! :blink:

You'd think this is Muskegon or something!

edit - it snowed in both Houston and San Antonio today, too. Weird stuff!

Our first snow in the Grande Ronde valley began last night. The surrounding mountains have had their share already, but this is the first day I'll have to actually drive in it. What a joy for a California transplant...

Okay, that didn't work out too well, but the tow truck didn't seem to have much trouble pulling my van out of the farmer's field. I must admit, my snow driving has been mostly theoretical, and I really hadn't considered what the options were when a car was coming straight at you in your lane. Idiot.

One thing I'll never understand about this area...

I just checked the coming week's forecast. On Saturday, the high is supposed to be 6 (-14 for you sensible areas, if I remember my conversions right!). The low Saturday night is supposed to be 6. How the heck do they pull that off??? Are they trying to tell me that it's going to be amazingly dark on Saturday? :unsure:

All-day darkness = not a problem

Approaching asteroid causing all-day darkness = PROBLEM

Well, maybe it's going to remain 6 constantly for the next 3 days or something? LOL
