I'm not a car-wash guy, but this is a great, and cheap solution to washing off the salt and bird poop.

(Bonus especially for you Greenie: They allow you several options to customize your wash.)
Great tip, thanks. I like Eagles because I prefer vacuuming it and driving through myself, plus it's a lot closer. But I'll give Sam's a try, considering they're pretty close to Hwy 55 burgers too!

PS It is a tropical 37* right now.
I just saw an article on this, what a mess. Couldn't they do some sort of online learning. Teachers at the elementary school level are using google classroom and sending information through remind. It would not be perfect but better than nothing.

I agree, however I'm sure the outcry would be "not every kid has a computer"! My kid is in MS I can assure that the vast majority of kids have a smartphone, even if you get 90% of the kids onboard learning can happen. ALL 3 of my kids, two HSers and one middle schooler, one private schooler and two public, are required to watch videos that their teachers make and post online. Even if you can get the majority of the kids to do something school related, it's better than nothing. I don't think it's far fetched to say that someday "weather days" will be a thing of the past provided the students have electricity to access technology.

The snow is finally melting in my yard. Incredible last two weeks. To top it off I hit a deer driving to work and then when I got back in my car late at night my battery had died. Less than three year old Bosch. WTF.

It was so warm today I was taking the battery out of my car in shorts. And I hate the cold!

Some models showing snow and sleet Wednesday.

Let's see if this thing has legs or will it fizzle out?
