'That Ain't Sunshine Piling up on Your Driveway'

So spake a Toro commercial's voiceover on the radio today.

I love it. Who would choose to drive to lunch and go through the tasks of wiping off the car, defogging and heating it before driving on slushy roads through steady snow showers - keeping five miles per hour below the speed limit except when behind plow trucks, in which case ten miles per hour? I would. My only regret is that I lack a carry-around digital camera.

Tomorrow morning I'll be going tree-hunting with the family down south, in what will probably be the most seasonable weather since Christmas 1982. And yes, you're damn straight that I remember.
