Seriously! I live 5 miles north of Downtown Pittsburgh and I had 36" of snow in my front yard for most of February. The roads have been white with salt since November.

It is nice to have a garage, above 50 F in the garage, a rinseless wash product (ONR or DP), and your favorite LSP. It can happen to you!

I love rain. It keeps things cool and I get to see all the different kinds of beading on my cars. Also, the rain knocks the pollen down and keeps my allergies in check.:xyxthumbs:

And yeah, I'll take rain over snow anytime. I'll never move north. Florida's killer!:dblthumb2:

[kaboom10]

You don't have to shovel it. lol The snow blower is as quiet as a mouse. Beats all the salt that has to be gotten off.

[mackdaddyhibble]

Awe,what a shame ,sorry to hear about your misfortune.In the Philadelphia area we,just got over our 40 inches of snow,now its been raining since Thursday night and not suppose to stop till Tuesday,and we haven't even began April showers.The one good thing about those Florida showers is,at least the sun will come out and in 20 mins with the exception of puddles,It looks and feels like it never rained.

After raining for at least a week this weekend has been awesome. Has been great to get out in the sunshine and work on the car.

I did use some ASD and can't wait to see how long it lasts on the tires and wheel wells.
