Salty Roads

[Rob Peters]

Well, this morning we had wet roads that froze and then some light snow causing accidents all over the place which has put the salt trucks back out spreading rust enhancer onto the roads so even if it now warms up we will need a little rain to clear this so we can take our Monte's out.

Yes Dennis, not everyplace here needed salt but enough to cause to pause on taking the car out for a few days.  We have rain coming in tomorrow afternoon and through Saturday morning so it should wash it all away.

Yup the salt trucks were out here too so a few more days of delay. We got about an inch or two here so far and still snowing but supposed to stop tonight some time.

Come on warmer weather, lets go!!!!!

I’m completely in awe that they didn’t  throw down salt here as it almost touched freezing after raining.  Looks like smooth sailing from here… Temperature is steadily climbing into the 60s next week (calling for 73 on Monday).  It’ll soon be time to break open the Monte bubbles.  Now I just have to find time to do it.

Good for you Glen we will barely scratch the surface of 55-60 degrees all of next week!!!

It's showing snow on radar,but nothing on the ground .............. yet. I'm sure the county boys are justa 'ichin', to put some of the nasty on the roads here. I saw motorcycles out last night?

[Rob Peters]

With rain today, tomorrow and Saturday it will be enough to remove any of that salt they spread a few days ago will be gone.  The weather looks a little cool on Sunday but bright sunny and there is a car cruise about 45 minutes from home so I may get to attend my first event of 2025.  I should be able to finally cruise down the road with tunes playing in my Monte!!!

Does anyone remember G.M.'s optional Traction Enhancement systems they used to install on Camaros in '69 ???

The nozzles in the rear wheelwells and the replaceable cartridges.

Sure do, not optioned on mine though. Mines been a California car all its life. It was called Liquid Tire Chain. I believe there were only 188 sold with that option.

Not a lot of snow at the beach.....

It wasn't many, but I remember seeing it in a sales ad.
