@Thermobrett How about the cars that are frequently driven on the beaches, Daytona, New Smyrna beach etc. Saw plenty of Fla. tagged cars with rust on top of cars and under them. I know the sun beats on them, but salt spray and driving on the water packed sand, maybe getting stuck will rust them if not washed off after. Just my observations from living there in the 80's. IDK, maybe less salt in the ocean now. Lol. Edit: I know you can't drive on New Smyrna anymore.
Now that you mention it, we do have a friend who has a condo right on the beach in Port Canaveral. When pulling into the parking garage there is a drive through water wash. We went and visited and I asked the northerner question, "what's this for", she said to wash the sand and ocean spray off the car. They we got to her condo and anything that wasn't stainless was rusted from the spray coming through the patio door.

The first couple months after moving from the rust belt (2010), I took our 2008 Camry in for an oil change, the guy put it on the lift and then it came right back down. he asked me if the car was a flood damage car. I said no (not really understanding what he meant) and he said that he's never seen such a new car with so much rust under it. I said "Oh..... You must have never been to Cleveland in the winter" 😝😝😝

I haven't driven on the beach yet, but want to do it just to say I have. My luck, the Yukon would get stuck in the sand.
 
71 and Sunny at a little taco stand in San Diego. Wife is reporting 12in of snow on the ground at home.

Why the F do I live in Buffalo again?!?

It's so you can appreciate how great it is elsewhere.

"Buffalo, do I have to go back?"

I think I saw that on the license plates 😜

There’s a very big difference between visiting somewhere and living there….
 
My daughter was captured on the instagram page. I absolutely LOVE listening to her stories of difficult kids (paybacks a bitch kid 😂).

Gonna have a few days of pretty cold weather..I refilled my 1 cord wood box next to the house yesterday from my piles out back, just need to make more medium size kindling for quick fire building…I suspect I’ll have a fire going non stop for several days.

hopefully I’ll be able to knock out the boat trailer hub maintenance over the next few days.

@2kwik4u keep your weather in your own yard. Don’t want any of it in mine.
Sorry buddy. It's just so much fun I couldn't "not share" :D :D

This was my morning commute. Was clear when I left the house. Was clear when I got to the office. Blizzard in the middle. I only drive 25mi.

Miss it but yet I don’t
 
@2kwik4u has Lake effect snow bands...and
@Babin Farms has a Gulf effect snow band to deal with.
It's warmer in Alaska than it is up here and Alabama.

It's interesting to me how the lake provides us with SOO MUCH SNOW......but also just enough warmth to keep us above freezing. Even with this harsh northly winds, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are large enough to keep the temperature swings from getting out of control near the coasts. We're going to have a lows in the single digits, and highs in the teens, but we're still warmer than the Southern, IN area we left this week.

With that said, I saw people ice fishing in the marina the other day, so that's a thing it appears. Suppose it's one way to increase the ROI on slip rental.

Pretty cold today, will huddle up to the wood stove later. A soft maple was casting shade on one of our greenhouses. Not any more.
