O.k., I realize that sooner or later we would get a winter that would make me cry but Yikes! We are expecting another snow event here in Jersey and the temps for a couple of nights will be sub zero.

My truck and the CR-V are caked in salt and the self wash bays were closed because of the low temps.

Monday is suppose to hit 34 and I am off so I will be pre soaking, power rinsing, and then rinseless washing.

In three years, God willing, we are moving south. I wouldn't mind the cold so much but seeing the cars as dirty as they are is eating at me. Plus this cold weather stinks in my line of work. LOL...

I did get to detail the CR-V last week and the Opti Seal is doing its job.
 
We're supposed to get up to 35F today.  I might rinse the cars but they're fairly clean considering the outrageous amount of salt, chems, etc. they throw on the roads.


 


Only 53 days 'til Spring !!!
 
Can't say I have. It has started to snow here.

I can do a bucket wash in the garage and be warm enough. It's being able to power rinse/wash the thicked caked on debris that is my issue. The local self-serve bay wash has been closed and my driveway is way too steep to deal with water at this temperature.
 
 I am going crazy stuck inside the house, can't detail or clean my own cars, pipes froze, just one thing after another. It's not only the snow but the freezing temps too. Can't wait for spring, I want to wash my cars so bad.
 
On the west coast it's the opposite weather patterns.  Here in BC, we've had the most mild and dry winter for quite a while.  A couple of nights ago I was heading out for a computer job and at 19:30 hrs it was 47 degrees F. 


So mild I did a waterless wash of the DD and applied two layers of Powerlock.  Heck, it's so mild I don't even wear a jacket when I take the dog out for  business meetings at night.


Central and Eastern Canada are a different story though. 
 
Winter in Southern New England has been weird too. The other day we got 4 to 6" of heavy wet "trace to a dusting" snow, the week before the temps were in the 50's during the day an mid 30's during the night. Tomorrow will be 40 and overcast, then back to the teens for Tuesday and Wednesday.
 
My wife's family, in extreme southeast Alabama, are under a Winter Storm Watch Tuesday into Wednesday. They don't have plows or road salt.
