Hope Sunny will post when he gets back. These roads get slick b/c of run off. I slid three times last nite in my big honking SUV b/c of run off on roads. At first, I couldn't comprehend that, but then I saw a sedan make a slight fishtail and I thought . . . this is just RAIN!!!!

OK - that is just weird. And it is warmer than normal here. Odd weather.

Apparently I have a weather lab (dog) and he can predict when it's going to rain hardest like this morning...it was raining and I leashed him up to take him out for business. Just as I go to walk out the door it really starts coming down heavy. So I grabbed my larger umbrella and took him out. As soon as I dried him off and went back in the house it stopped raining. I'll let you all know when he needs to go out again as I am sure that's when the next wave will hit.

He loves to be wet and rolls in the puddles and splashes in the gutter just like a kid.

I slid in my SUV and I wasn't even going all that fast.

Slippery When Wet is not just the title of a great Bon Jovi album.

It's still coming down good, been about 24 hours now. We needed the rain, but I see Ashville getting a lot.. And they really needed it. It is warm today but will crash this weekend to 25/50 again.

And ya I fishtail in my SUV too, just happens with those light back ends. Been a while since people talked about my back end being light though.. LOL!
