Try a mr. clean magic eraser, it has a slightly abrasive nature to it which should remove those marks

The problem with the snow over here is that the ground doesn't get cold enough before the snow falls, so the first inch or so of snow melts, and finally re-freezes when there's enough snow on top to get it below freezing.

Snow on top of ice = bad news bears. Slush on top of ice = chains mandatory.

Actually, Grand Cherokee FTL. That was what the other driver was in when they hit my wife (in her Armada) head-on. My wife was home that very evening, the other driver was discharged after a 5-week hospital stay.

Lucky for us, one unfortunate incident means zip.

Not just one. The insurance adjuster was not surprised about the injuries to the other driver -- they see a lot of Jeeps where the driver is pretty messed up after an accident. What they were surprised about was how well the Armada held up, and that my wife didn't also end up in the hospital.

tell me about it, i drove my beater today, and went through a humongous puddle. after a second the car stalled in the middle of 99. lucky me it started. Drove the Z after that and the front bumper was like a plow, had to clean it from junk and derbris. My area is flooded. well i am happy-- no school nor work tomorrow.

This is the worst weather I've seen. Near Hood Canal, we got 12" of snow Saturday noon until Sunday noon followed by 50 degree temps and almost 11" of rain Sunday noon until Monday noon. The rain with a total snow melt have given records for the fifty years they have been keeping track!

Winds have gusted over 50 mph and the roads out were both cut-off for 7 hours because of slides and water over a bridge that has never been covered before. High tide at noon was about 18 inches higher than it should have been because of the low barometric pressure. My 23' sailboat was pushed into my front yard about 25' from the house.

I've been sandbagging and trying to control water all day, from the creek that jumped its bed above us to the tide and waves on the other side. I'm dead tired and and my ears are bored with the sound of sloshing in my boots all day. God, I pray tomorrow will be easier. A back hoe would be nice. I fear one neighbor will lose their home's foundation if we get one more round of this. No we don't have hurricanes. So what?

You guys on the other side of the Sound in Seattle have it easy.
