OK, this isn't supposed to happen! Woke up this morning to snow. It snowed for atleast three hours and stayed on the ground for most of the day. Only snows in this part of So. Cal. about once a decade. We are not in the mountains here, we are in the flatlands. Glad I worked on the car yesterday. Got it out of the barn, cleaned it up, and took it for a drive to get fuel and parts. Installed a solenoid on the rear trunk release and a momentary switch in the engine compartment to activate it. Also lowered the front end (it was obscenely high). Guess I need to get it aligned but plan on getting some new high poudage coil springs for the rear and lower it again in the front so I will probably wait. Is there a quick camber adjustment I can do to bring it in close? I did a search on alignment but came up with mostly technical dimensions rather than exactly how to make the adjustment. I feel for you people in the snow part of the country. Really didn't feel like going outside to do much today. Although I did have to go out and get the snow off the Direct TV dish so we could atleast watch the NASCAR finale.

I know this isn't snow like most of you are use to, but for us it is quite unusual and we would call it snow. I work up in the mountains around here in real snow. A real pain to deal with. We have had freezing rain and such here before but I think this really qualified as snow this time. We took these pictures early and it just kept coming. It is good in a way, puts you in the Holiday Spirit. Happy Holidays to you all!

When it's snowing is the best weather to be in the spa. You should be thankful for the snow and get out and enjoy it!

Here's the view at my house right now.
