How cold is it in your state xskax? It has been so cold down here that I put posters of Hawaii up on my bathroom walls so that I can think about a warm place.

I'm dreading the weather of April because this is when we tend to get blackberry winter which is very windy and cold. The pollen count is also very high and pollen gets blown around everywhere. Then too many people have problems with allergies.

so far this week it's been rainy, but still in like the 50's....but last week it was like 75 and amazingly sunny. it pretty much rains here all of april

I'm glad that I bought a seat cushion for my driver's seat in my car. I plug this into the accessory power outlet and it heats my seat and keeps me warm. I have been enjoying this a lot. Do you have anything like this for your car?

[xskax]

@rottiefan Indiana. Why?

@Bristecom

Where do you live?

@rottiefan I don't take big risks. If you hit pure black ice, you're simply going to go in the same direction. So I take that possibility into account and give myself enough room to compensate for it. But pure black ice is rare around here and is usually only in small patches. Regular ice and snow is fine though. It's easy to test the levels of grip and have a little fun. :)

@Bristecom

What would you do if black ice on the road caused you to get into an accident? Black ice is difficult to see and it is very dangerous. Ice can also be covered by snow.

What was it like in your area last weekend? How much snow did you get? We got a bunch of it down here. I was really surprised to see two different ice/snow storms during December in Atlanta,GA. That is not normal for us. I have an impossible dream because I now wish that it won't snow in Atlanta for another 1,000,000,000,000 years. It's unfortunate that this will never happen. Oh well. Have a happy new year and stay safe.

Actually, the only thing I like about snow is driving in it. I have an all wheel drive sports car with winter tires so it's fun.

I hope that you have a happy holiday. I'll talk to you later.

Last night I was watching the news again and they had another report about a house fire that was started by someone using a space heater. This is the second time in less than one month that this has happened in metro Atlanta and I want it to end so much. I despise winter.

[rottiefan]

You should be glad that you were not in Atlanta two nights ago. We had black ice on the roads and about 1200 accidents happened because of it. It was disgusting. This included a 15 car pile-up, cars that flipped over, abandoned cars and closed freeways. Abandoned cars on the roads made it harder for the GA DOT to put the salt on the roads. Even the parking lots of businesses had ice in them. I totally despise this winter weather and the calendar says that winter starts on Dec. 21st!

I also have Carhart fleece lined blue jeans and L L Bean flannel lined blue jeans. I love these clothes because they are so warm. Do you own these types of clothes? I'll bet money that you have to wear them up north.
