Three trips
Around the driveway- one at noon yesterday, one at seven yesterday, and one at six thirty this morning. Each time there has been another six to eight inches, and that’s been straight falling snow. A lot more in drifts. Had to do the drive just so the wife could leave for work. Her car has “Traction control” which is it’s way of saying “When it’s a bit slippery, I give up”. What stupidity. So I showed her how to turn it off and we’ll go from there. She drove a Honda Civic in Canadian winters, she knows how to drive in snow without some nanny damned thing telling her what to do.

Traction control is why I got rid of the Prius. No way to turn it off without going through a strange and arcane 42 step Japanese ritual–every damn time I turned on the car.
The Subie doesn’t get as good mileage (about 3/4 of the Prius), but I can get up the driveway.
Indeed!
Thanks to glabal warming, this is a problam that our kids will never face.
My little one-lung rig isn’t equal to the task, worse luck. *sigh*
We got more snow than NYC did.
This is a test to see if your spam filter was rejecting my comments because of my e-mail address or web site, and now I think it’s the latter.
6 bags of sand and I can go anywhere I need. Still getting 20 MPG so what is not to like?
