Thank you Joy!

Snow & ice here in my part of western WA state but it's expected to
warm up and rain this afternoon, that should take care of the snow/ice.

Ice sucks, there is nothing good about (on the road). On a hill you
just don't stop... well can't stop in some cases. I tried for 5 min
to get up a small rise/hill in my Vanagon the other night, after many
tries I was able to get enough traction/momentum to make the crest. I
hate putting chains on to drive 50ft.

Have a great Thanksgiving and watch the ice....
