You know, they don't have any salt trucks down there, right? Please don't drive. You're out of practice!
Oh geez, quit your bitchin'!Weather says you're getting, like, one day of moderate cold, not even freezing. Go to Sam's club and buy a fake fireplace.
So now you're telling me to drive??? No, I don't think we'll get snow down here on the coast... But ya never know. Kids would love it. Cool bday present for Nolan. If it does we'll have some pics. In not.... then all we get is a stinkin winter weather advisory from weather.com
