Taking the cautious way out, we are spending the day in our warm, comfortable home on Barton Heights...We've looked at the road/weather reports this morning, listened to the gusty wind, peeked out the windows at the shiny surface on the ground and took a vote...Two to zero, it is not life or death, the catalytic converter will have to wait...It might be a decent day to travel, there is no real way to know...The weather forecast for the last week (at least) hasn't been even close to what our weather is here in the valley...The roads within a hundred mile radius of us have been closed periodically the past two days because of fog, freezing rain, black ice and blowing/drifting snow, but here in our isolated valley, it has been cold and breezy with no measurable snow fall and mostly bare roads.
If we were going to Lewiston, we would already be on the road, it is 7am...At 8am I will call Subaru and cancel our appointment.
(I just finished writing these words when Herb came in and said, "It's 38º outside and thawing like crazy, should we go?" I said, "Why not, we can always turn around if it gets too bad..."
In record time we had changed clothes, packed snack food, water, coats, gloves, and boots...Roads were not bad at all, snow pack to Bogans then mostly bare from there...We got there on time, we had a brand new Forester to drive while they worked on the Outback, make a trip to Costco, then picked up our car, had lunch and got home about 3pm...Glad that is done...Drinking a glass of wine and relaxing...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
