Yeah, it's seriously crappy here too..... -11, high winds, drifting snow. I was going to drive to Canton (Ohio) tomorrow, but, that's been nixed, and postponed till next Saturday. I have no desire to chance getting stuck on the side of the road in this weather........ (it's 200 miles, one way.)

Now that makes this special. Don't need no stinking brakes. Geared low enough to just crawl to a stop and go Flintstone style.
