Stupid winter!
It was a beautiful crisp morning (-11c) with clear, dry roads.
The car needed gas so I topped up and thought to myself that
today would be a perfect day to run the car through the automated touchless car wash to remove the layer of winter crud and salt.
The car looked great!
By 11am weather had warmed to -3 and about an inch of show had fallen leaving the roads a soupy, bloody mess.
I might hitch-hike home and leave the car in the parking lot.
The car will be a complete mess by the time I get home from work.
