    Damn, it looks shitty out. I drive for a living, not looking forward to today.

    This will be annoying today badge..but where the ice line sets up tonite...thats when the real storm gets going.

    Great to see SJ is bunkered down. Would be a great loss. If he loses power...lets just shut down the website and not take any chances.

    Nice link Satan and happy SD you are out of the way.

    Yeah - 1 inch of sleet I believe. Texas would cease to exist if we started getting snow here on a regular basis.

    Bah. You're probably too far south. But still cold enough where you'll have to skin a few extra illegals for another layer before you go outside. I wish you one full day of snow. Just one.

    Hehe, every year, there is that one day where all of the buffoon meteorologists on local TV here agree that San Antonio will get snow. This year it's Thursday, February 3rd. I'll be eagerly awaiting the Great White Pumpkin.

    Catch you guys later.

    They're now saying 18-24 inches by tomorrow PM for my town.

    I'm hoping the ice stays away....

    Cancelled already?? The snow was coming down good in Boston when I got in about 8am off the train. We weren't getting any snow up in NH yet though. You must be south of Boston then? Schools around here are mostly still open.

    Ice Storm Prepping

    Sounds like a crazy idea, but I know it works. Get the biggest garbage bag you can find. Drape it over the top of the driver's side door of your vehicle and close the door tightly. It will blow around in the wind some, but will help prevent heavy ice buildup. If you can sort of wrap it around the sides and top of the door, even better.

    It will still ice up, but getting into your vehicle will be a whole lot easier. You just pull on the garbage bag and the ice cracks right off. Then at least you can get it started and warmed up before clearing the rest of the ice off. If we get a half inch of ice tonight... you will thank me later.

    I would not try this if your doors tend to leak a little, but if the seals are in good shape, it works. It is also helpful if you have someone inside when you close the door to prevent the bag from wrinkling as you shut the door. Then they get out on the other side.

    I've been putting this off all morning, but I have to venture out. Should have done it before the snow started. Looks like there's about six inches out there.

    Put the first shovel load down your pants. That should calm the boys down.

    Yasi update: officially a category 5 severe tropical cyclone

    Remote start - $300. Never a problem again, nice warm toasty car to get into every morning even when (as it has been up here recently) it's -25 celsius.

    Just talked to my dad in Queens, he said they're closing the Clearview Expwy (and I assume some other highways) because of the ice storm.
