I Hate Winter!

X2 Monstah · 01-07-2018, 05:58 PM

Sigh.

RAK92 · 01-07-2018, 06:16 PM

Ugh. I feel you. Luckily I have another car for a bit to drive. I hate the crap that gets on my car in the winter.

Billfitz · 01-07-2018, 09:39 PM

If you don't have a foot or more of snow on the ground it's not winter.

lo_xyooj · 01-08-2018, 01:08 PM

^^^ LOL...Not sure what I rather have a foot of snow or breaking double digits for the first time in weeks...

Billfitz · 01-08-2018, 01:20 PM

The temperature hit a nice balmy 25F today. I'd have taken out the clubs for a round of golf but for that foot of snow.

I hear ya. finally feels like spring

Last weekend skiing in vermont was brutal. Finally able to get the car washed today without everything freezing immediately.

From setting a record for the day of -1° F at Dulles the other day to temps near 60° by Friday, I'm hoping the rain will help as a car wash! Mine's silver so it doesn't look quite as bad.

Billfitz · 01-09-2018, 01:23 PM

It's finally melting today, but that's when the road crud is the worst, spraying up at you from everyone's tires. I'm going to wait a few days before I wash it, to let the roads dry out.

Winter is the puss-filled hemorrhoid on the butthole of life.

LOL. That's what I used to say growing up in Massachusetts. I do not miss those winters!

Billfitz · 01-09-2018, 05:40 PM

Snow is the only thing that makes winter worthwhile, for winter sports. Cold without snow is just cold.

440GCSTL · 01-09-2018, 07:35 PM

I'm getting tired of the extra 5 miles I have to drive to get up to a reasonable temp. But I do enjoy how well that cold air compresses once it is up to temp.

X2 Monstah · 01-12-2018, 04:45 PM

Aaah! Much better. 65 degrees in Northern Virginia today. Washed both Bimmers and topped mine with CarPro Reload. It was like therapy to me.

Yeah, pretty mild other than the recent frigid spell. I'm sure nothing like Ontario though!

It go really warm in the past two days here with lots of rain but today temperature dropped 30 degrees, everything froze and now another foot of snow on the ground.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with fancy cars. They turn into sh,,t in winter

Drive a Ski-Doo, Hoser.

Billfitz · 01-25-2018, 01:11 PM

I'd rather deal with snow than earthquakes.

RAK92 · 01-28-2018, 11:09 AM

Just think pretty soon we will get to deal with the spring pollen!

TheBingoBalls · 01-28-2018, 02:38 PM

At least with the exterior, there's nothing a little soap/water can't do to remove all the winter crap. The interior is real issue with dried up salt in the carpet. It got a little warm so I decided to wash all salt off the mats but the carpet were as bad. Got most of it out but it's going to need a lot more work.
