Very, very foggy. I almost expect an air raid siren to go off.

Come on, guys, it's a Silent Hill reference.

Snowing and black ice conditions. Even with the studded snow tires had trouble getting out of my driveway because of the ice. Did a nice slow drift into a snowbank where my driveway turns a corner because I didn't realize just how icy it was there and wasn't able to correct the fishtail in time. Main roads weren't too bad but still icy so took an extra 10 minutes to get to the office. Forecasters are promising the commute home this afternoon should be better.

Safe driving vibes.. Slow and steady and be extra careful walking from car.

65F, full sun and heading for 80F. Wish I could send it to melt the ice.

We have had an extremely warm winter on the SE side of the state. Most nights aren't even getting below 70. Our normal this time of year is 55/75 and we have mostly been 70/85. I went to the weather channel site and looked at the temps for the past couple of months and we have been 80 or above 36 days since Dec 1 (and only 7 lows below 60). I would guess that normally we would have 8-10 days above 80 during that stretch.

Once I get home, I'll just drive into the garage and straight into the house. SO used about 30 pounds of ice melt yesterday but concentrated on the entry to the driveway at the cul-de-sac as there's a slight incline there and no way to get a good running start when you are heading in. Going to do some research to find a company that will sand driveways.

You're going to drive into your house? Talk about Drive-thru service......:applause:

Doesn't your car leave stains on the floor though?

Does the company/person you have plowing the driveway also sand/ de-ice them? One would think it would go hand in hand.
