Seriously, if it's just overhanging branches, maybe you can prune them or have them pruned. I feel for you, I had a friend who had a big pine tree in his front yard and after I while I figured out where all those sticky spots were coming from on my car--and started parking down the street. That was a huge tree, probably 50 ft tall, so pruning wasn't going to help.

I spent yesterday morning mixing up and topping off several of my liquids and then I got my towel bins out and staged, my wheel bucket set up, mitts and brushes ready, etc for an epic first full maintenance wash on the big car after I got back from taking the boss for her mani-pedi

By the time we left for her appointment it was snowing in the mountains and flakes were falling at the house although it was too warm to stick

By the time we got back there was a good coating on the lower slopes that had already cleared over the past couple of weeks and it was mid 30s and sleeting here

I woke up early to 30 degrees and mixed sleet and snow sticking to the ground and more sleet/snow/rain forecast for the rest of the day

Oh well

This was yesterday evening

I hit like because of the picture, we never get snow here, the nearest in winter is about 500 miles from me, and the closest thing to mountains is some big hills. Sorry your plans were disrupted.

I haven't planned anything for a couple of weeks, too much rain, and more predicted at least till next week. I was going to pressure wash the wheels and wheel wells, but I'm driving through mud again tomorrow. Ditto on the oh well.

We are supposed to get started on a fence tomorrow, the contractor is supposed to start getting holes dug and posts set and I bet this disrupts his schedule

They can probably still auger the holes unless it's simply too slick for his equipment (I am assuming he has a skid steer with a powered auger) but not sure about mixing and pouring the cement

I can't conceive of living without mountains around me

We had to for 2 years when we lived in Kentucky (93-94) and it drove me nuts not having mountains to orient myself

Oh come on Chilly, you stole that picture off an Alaska tourism website.

Sorry your wash plans got scrubbed.

EDIT: There aren't mountains in KY? The only time I've been in KY was at the Cincinnati airport.

There are some hills in Kentucky but after growing up and living in the mountains of West Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, and Alaska it’s hard to call them anything but foothills

I just looked it up and the highest “peak” in Kentucky is only 4,145 feet above sea level and only 2,500 feet above the surrounding countryside

On a nice day I can drive just a few miles north and see Denali, which is 20’000 feet



The peak in my earlier picture, Matanuska Peak, is a little over 6,000 feet and is just barely visible in the right of the picture and it’s backed up by even higher mountains

We lived in Lexington and there were rolling low hills and “hollers” and you could be driving and get down in the hollers and have zero idea which way you were going because of no mountains to orient yourself

I guess like so many things it’s a matter of perspective

Boy, you've been around the block, Chilly. And I agree, perspective is very important.

I guess I should add I was born and lived my first 4 years in Japan and lived in upstate New York for the next 4 years as well before we moved out west

So yeah, I have been around a very big block
