What Happened to Winter? Part II

I know that some of you out there have been quite worried about our seeming lack of winter here in southern Minnesota. Just to set your mind at ease, winter has made an appearance, sort of. We experienced temperatures around zero over the weekend, and we even had a light dusting of snow today. The folks at the Weather Channel are suggesting that we might have the coldest sustained temperatures of the winter this coming weekend, with the mercury dipping down to ten below or so for a couple of nights.

Aside from keeping yourself warm, you also have to be concerned about your vehicle being able to start on bitterly cold mornings. If there is anything wrong with your vehicle, or if there are any weak links in any of your vehicle's systems, the cold winter weather will invariably expose said weaknesses and cause a degree of misery or inconvenience. But we figure that if we can get through February, we only have to survive March. Hope springs eternal, literally speaking. If anything, winter helps you to appreciate spring and summer.
