    A bit chilly this morning, on my way to work, the ugliest of all uglies appears on my dash. Yes, none other than:



    Well, something like that anyway. Yup, down to the 37 (F) mark :(

    Yeah, it was brutally cold last night, especially considering it was over 90 just a week ago!

    Yeaahhh Minni-soootans! Wait 5 minutes it will change again!

    Took my whole 5 minute commute to get the back window to defrost.

    Still no jacket though! Gotta wait as long as possible to resort to jacket wearing. It helps acclimate you for the cold November mornings in the deer stand and the 10 below weather in January!

    Blocked my grill Monday night.
    The good news is that it's supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow.

    Really? It is the warning light for tule fog. But then, maybe you don't live in an area where that's a concern. Still, if you haven't seen it, you better get in to the dealer's shop right away. It would be awful to encounter the tule fog and not have your car warn you about it.

    While I miss my friends, I certainly do not miss having 7 months of winter! I'll see the snowflake, but not for a while yet, thank the FSM!

    If it is appearing on your dash, that means it will spend less time on mine... Hooray! :lol:

    LOL! That is a bit of an obnoxious gloat. We have been spared the tule fog for several years now, I wonder if we can thank GW for that (seriously) or if some other factor has contributed? I remember back 10-15 years ago when we had around 30 or 30+ straight days in the fog with no sunlight and while the GPS doesn't help you see in the fog at least it helps you by indicating when the next intersection or curve in the road is coming up.
